Abstract

Most of the positioning systems nowadays require GPS. In indoor environments, however, GPS signals cannot be received properly due to the obstructions of the walls in the building. Therefore, other techniques such as RFID, Zigbee, WIFI or Bluetooth, are used based on the power loss, cost, or transmission range considerations. Our study, conducted at the AI+ Experience Center of Chung Hua University, adopts Bluetooth 5.0-based equipment and uses the received signal strength indication (RSSI) and triangulation method to perform indoor positioning. Our results show that Bluetooth positioning is more accurate in the sense that when the distance is within 1∼3 meters, the error with the actual position is about 1 meter, which is more accurate than the RFID or WIFI positioning with the error of 2∼3 meters.
