Wi-Fi Indoor Positioning System to Implement Faculty Tracking

Abba Karthik Lokendhar Reddy

Abstract: The swift development of Internet and an enormous increase in Smartphone usage has offered the open door for Wi-Fi indoor positioning to go under the spotlight because of its ease. In any case, the precision of Wi-Fi indoor positioning has never been able to meet the needs and hence was far from being practically implemented. This project demonstrates the use of Indoor Positioning System. We are all familiar with the term GPS (Global Positioning System). GPS helps us with tracking an object outdoors. It returns the latitude and longitude values of the object to be tracked. GPS fails to track an object indoors. We cannot determine the position of an object to its exact position when it is inside a multi-storied building. Indoor Positioning System helps us in tracking an object when it is indoors, and we are going to implement the same to track faculty with precision up to the floor and room number.
