What is an indoor positioning system & how does it work
Indoor positioning systems help locate people or objects inside buildings where GPS (global positioning system) doesn’t work well.
They do this by using different signals and methods to figure out the location. Here’s a basic breakdown of how IPS operates, including the signals used, location estimation methods, and how the system displays information to users:
| Component | Description |
| Using signals to locate positions | IPS uses signals like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, radio waves, magnetic fields, or even light. These signals come from sources like Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth beacons, or special transmitters placed around the building. The signals are picked up by the mobile device or other receivers, helping the system know where someone or something is. |
| Methods for location estimation | Trilateration: Measures distance from several signal sources to find the location, kind of like how GPS works. Fingerprinting: Compares current signal patterns with a pre-made map of signal strengths around the building to figure out where you are. Proximity: Finds the location based on which signal source (like a Bluetooth beacon) is closest. Dead reckoning: Uses the last known location and sensors (like motion sensors) to estimate the current position. |
| Position calculation | The system uses the signals and positioning methods to calculate the exact location. This can be done either on a device (like a smartphone) or on a server if the calculations are more complex. |
| Showing the location to the user | Once the system calculates the position, it shows the location on a map, usually in a mobile app or web interface. It can also provide directions, alerts, or tracking information. |
| Adjusting for better accuracy | The system might need to be adjusted from time to time to stay accurate, especially if the building layout changes or the signal sources are moved. |
By putting all these elements together, IPS does a fantastic job of helping people navigate indoors, keeping track of valuable assets, and guiding visitors through large spaces like malls, airports, and hospitals. It’s all about making the experience smoother and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
How to build an indoor positioning system: a step-by-step process for 2024
Indoor positioning systems are revolutionizing the way companies manage spaces, offering real-time location insights within structures where traditional GPS falls short. Let’s delve into the step-by-step process of building an IPS for your business.
Step 1: Define the use case and requirements
The first step in building an indoor positioning system is to clearly define the use case and establish the system’s requirements. This is super important because it’ll steer your choices for the technology, system design, and how you roll it out. Here’s how to approach it:
| Identify the purpose of the system and the primary use case | Asset tracking: Monitoring the real-time location of assets, such as equipment, inventory, or personnel. Indoor navigation: Guiding people through complex spaces like shopping malls, hospitals, or airports. Security and access control: Tracking personnel movements to control access to restricted areas. Environmental monitoring: Checking conditions in specific locations, such as temperature or air quality, and associating them with location data. |
| Clarify the target audience | Consider who will be using the IPS – employees, customers, or visitors – and how it will benefit them. Understanding the target audience will inform system features and user interface design. |
| Define the level of precision needed | Room-level accuracy: Suitable for tracking personnel or assets within individual rooms or large sections of a building (accuracy within 3-5 meters). Aisle-level accuracy: Required for applications like warehouse management, where tracking needs to be precise enough to differentiate between rows or shelves (accuracy within 1-3 meters). Centimeter-level accuracy: Needed for high-precision use cases like robotics, medical equipment tracking, or interactive exhibits (accuracy within 10-30 centimeters). |
| Set tolerance for errors | Consider acceptable margins of error for the use case, keeping in mind that higher accuracy often comes with increased cost and complexity. |
| Consider environmental factors | Building layout: Analyze the layout of the building, including the number of floors, room sizes, and wall materials. Complex layouts with multiple levels or thick walls may require more advanced solutions. Interference sources: Identify potential sources of signal interference, such as metal structures, electrical equipment, or Wi-Fi networks. This will help in choosing technologies that are less susceptible to interference, like Ultra-Wideband (UWB) or Visual Light Communication (VLC). Movement patterns and density: Consider the typical movement patterns within the indoor space (e.g., densely populated areas, high traffic zones). The system design may need to account for complex indoor environments where people or equipment frequently move. |
By carefully defining the use case and requirements, you will establish a solid foundation for the design and implementation of your indoor positioning system.
Step 2: Choose the right technology
Selecting the appropriate technology is essential for meeting the accuracy, cost, and deployment requirements of the use case. Each technology offers different benefits and limitations, which must be considered when making a choice. In the table below, you can find an overview of the most commonly used IPS technologies, comparing their accuracy, cost, ease of deployment, and best use cases:

| Wi-Fi | 5-15 meters | Low | High (uses existing infrastructure) | Employee tracking, large indoor spaces |
| Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) | 1-5 meters | Moderate | Moderate | Retail navigation, proximity-based marketing |
| Ultra-Wideband (UWB) | 10-30 centimeters | High | Low to moderate | Robotics, high-precision asset tracking |
| Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) | 1-5 meters (passive), up to 100 meters (active) | Low to moderate | Moderate | Asset tracking, inventory management |
| Visible Light Communication (VLC) | 0.5-2 meters (high precision) | Moderate to high | Low to moderate | Museum exhibits, high-accuracy navigation |
| Magnetic Positioning | 2-5 meters | Low | Moderate | Underground navigation, areas with poor signal reception |
Step 3: Plan the infrastructure and hardware setup
The next step in building an Indoor Positioning System (IPS) involves planning the infrastructure and selecting the appropriate hardware. This includes identifying key points of reference (e.g., beacons, access points), determining coverage areas, and selecting the necessary devices. Proper planning ensures that the system meets the accuracy requirements and functions effectively within the intended environment.
| Identifying and placing reference points | Determine reference point types: Choose the type of reference points based on the selected technology (e.g., BLE beacons, Wi-Fi access points, UWB anchors, RFID readers). These will serve as fixed points that provide precise location data for positioning calculations. Placement strategy: Place reference points where they maintain a clear line of sight to the devices being tracked, especially for UWB or VLC, which require unobstructed paths for optimal accuracy. Avoid placing reference points near large metal objects, electronic equipment, or other sources of signal interference. For navigation use cases, place key points of reference at key decision points, such as intersections or entrances, to improve system performance. |
| Coverage area planning and density of positioning nodes | Define the coverage area: Determine the total area where the IPS will operate, including all floors and rooms. Calculate the density of nodes: Higher accuracy requires a higher density of positioning nodes (e.g., more beacons or access points per square meter). For UWB, nodes may need to be placed closer together to achieve centimeter-level precision. Consider obstacles like walls, floors, and partitions, which may require additional nodes to maintain coverage. For multi-floor environments, ensure adequate vertical coverage. Plan for overlap: Ensure that reference points’ coverage areas overlap slightly to avoid dead zones and improve accuracy through triangulation. |
| Hardware requirements and device selection | Choose appropriate devices: Select BLE beacons, UWB anchors, Wi-Fi access points, or RFID readers, depending on the chosen technology. Ensure that the tracking devices (e.g., smartphones, tags) have compatible sensors and receivers to communicate with the reference points. If using technologies like Wi-Fi or UWB, select network infrastructure equipment that supports the necessary data transmission and processing. Battery life and power sources: Consider using battery-powered beacons for easy deployment, or powered devices (e.g., plugged-in Wi-Fi access points) for continuous operation. Choose devices with long battery life or easy access for replacement to minimize maintenance efforts. Device durability and environmental suitability: Select hardware that is durable enough for the environment (e.g., water-resistant beacons for outdoor or industrial use). Ensure the devices can function effectively in environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, or exposure to dust. |
Planning the infrastructure and hardware setup carefully will ensure that your IPS achieves the required coverage, accuracy, and reliability. Proper placement and selection of reference points, positioning nodes, and compatible devices are essential for a well-functioning system.
