Deployment Strategies and Performance Evaluation of a Virtual-Tag-Enabled Indoor Location Sensing Approach
Indoor location information is valuable to the construction industry for a wide range of purposes, including on-site personnel safety, asset security, facility maintenance, and in-building emergency response. Indoor location sensing includes presence detection and location calculation, for which a number of technologies and algorithms have been tested. To advance the research in this area, the paper proposes an improved radio frequency identification (RFID)-based location-sensing algorithm that uses virtual tags to increase cost effectiveness and robustness. A series of tests were conducted in a controlled environment, and the findings on algorithm parameter optimization, equipment deployment strategies, system accuracy/cost tradeoff, and robustness are presented in the paper. The results show that a mean accuracy of for stationary targets and for mobile targets can be achieved, and that the system holds promise for robustness. Virtual tags are proven to reduce cost and improve the system robustness.
