Design and Evaluation of Algorithm and Deployment Parameters for an RFID-Based Indoor Location Sensing Solution
Indoor location information is valuable to the building industry for a wide range of purposes such as on-site personnel safety, asset security, facility maintenance, and in-building emergency response. Despite the availability of applicable technologies, there is no indoor location sensing solution that is cost efficient and, therefore, widely adapted by the industry while providing highly accurate location information. The authors have designed and tested an RFID-based location sensing algorithm that uses virtual reference tags, which eliminates the need for collecting prior localization data, increases the accuracy of the location information, and potentially reduces the deployment costs. The paper summarizes a series of 9 field tests, and presents findings on algorithm parameter optimization and equipment deployment strategies. The test results show that the number of nearest neighbors, k=4 and arithmetical averages yielded best results, and the performance of the proposed solution was consistent for different reference tag layouts.
