The goal of this project was to design a system that shows the distribution of wireless sensor nodes deployed for indoor navigation purpose. It was initiated by the demand for an optimized route a person should follow in order to reach a destination chosen by a service provider inside a building. The person was given a user device capable of displaying the paths she should follow.
The optimum path was calculated on a computer connected to a central node and the result was sent to the person requesting the service. A method for displaying and controlling the arrangement of wireless sensor nodes was designed. The distance between the fixed wirelesses nodes were given values that took traveling time into consideration. Distance was taken as a parameter in comparing and choosing the best path. The system was implemented independent of a particular service provider or a particular shortest path algorithm making it suitable for other applications with different requirements.
The result was a system capable of showing the distribution of wireless sensor nodes used for a navigation purpose. A mechanism that showed the paths used for traveling, and a method to change cost values that reflect both distance and traveling time.
