Abstract(s)
The advancements of the indoor positioning system (IPS) in the recent years have been immense, yet we do not see the standardization of any solution. The system which is being used in many public scenarios is the Wi-Fi technology and the solution which we propose in this dissertation would not require change of infrastructure, but rather reusing existing one and simply enhancing it. This solution is low-cost and with relatively high precision considering current precision of Global Positioning System (GPS) of five meters. In this dissertation prototype is designed with motorized directional antennas using signal strength of two ESP8266. These position measurements are calculated and presented via micro controller and a Wi-Fi enabled device – ESP8266. Together with Yagi antenna, this solution has shown extremely good IPS characteristics and possibility to be implemented in real-case scenarios.
