RFID markers are proving to be a cheap and reliable enabler for indoor positioning applications. Motivated by this we have developed a concrete embeddable passive RFID tag for robust and long-lasting way-point identification. Embedding... more
This paper suggests a navigation structure for visually impaired/blind people using A star algorithm. The proposed structure is consisted of two parts. In the first part planning the path and in the second part avoiding obstacles. The aim... more
In last years the interest in indoor localization techniques is grown very quickly: due to huge increase of interest in domotic technologies and to fast improvement of capabilities for mobile devices, which are becoming always-connected... more
This paper suggests a navigation structure for visually impaired/blind people. The proposed structure is consisted of builder simulator, smart phone with built-in compass and cane. The aim is to guide visually impaired/blind people from a... more
Wireless Sensor network systems are one of the supreme expansions in communications area. An example of such a network is the ZigBee wireless sensor network, which is equipped with variety of sensors and used widely in environment... more
Navigation systems are known to provide time and location information for easy and accurate navigation in a specified environment. While Global Positioning System (GPS) has recorded a considerable success for navigating outdoors, the... more
Navigating indoors has resulted in a variety of research. However, the existing methods are complex and time consuming resulting in a high cost solution. Existing research has not been able to address these issues; this makes the... more
Indoor localization and mapping has become very crucial part of pervasive computing in recent times. Conventional outdoor techniques using GPS, Wi-Fi, and Cellular Networks have proved expensive and unconventional for indoor mapping. This... more
The navigation ecosystem is rapidly changing. Indoor navigation has attracted attention with the introduction of mobile devices into the market. Although mobile devices are used more often for outdoor navigation , they have opened up... more
