IOT Based Real Time Indoor Location Tracking System

Abstract

Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) belong to a class of locating systems capable of remotely
determining the location of tagged assets in an environment within a relatively short time frame (real time).
Signals from tags are received by readers, which leads signal, to continuously determine the location of the tag
relative to each reader. Using readers positioned at several locations around a tag offers multiple location
readings, which can be compiled together at a central host to estimate the location of a tag in a two or three
dimensional space. The most common RTLS uses a Wi-Fi infrastructure to determine the location of tagged
assets. These systems employ Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) techniques to wirelessly determine asset
location. This presents a new method for providing an accurate, low cost estimate of sub-room indoor Asset
location. An iBeacon based Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology used to track and manage assets. Each asset
to be tracked is tagged with an iBeacon tag, and tracked using BLE enabled device located throughout a facility.
Based on the tracking information, the system allows users to manage assets and generate reports regarding the
various tagged assets.
