The population of senior citizens has been increasing steadily in most countries, which has resulted in various challenges in maintaining their living standards. Both private and government sectors are looking for the best possible ways of cutting down operation costs while trying to improvise their services for senior citizens at the same time. Developing an indoor navigation system is one of the best solutions to cope with these challenges.
The purpose of the project was to improve the living standard of elderly people with the development of an indoor navigation system that would navigate and provide security and immediate help to senior citizens living in elderly care homes and rehabilitation centers. Support is provided to them by surveillance of their movements and studying their behaviour. The project aimed to create and develop a desktop application for controlling the in-door navigation system using the DASH7 technology and the platform-independent object-oriented programming language. The desktop application for an indoor navigation system was developed using the Java programming language and the cell-based principle.DASH7-based active RFID hardware devices, Beacon, Mobiletag and Access point, were used for data communication purposes.
The objective of the project was achieved and a desktop application for an indoor navigation system was developed and it fulfilled the customers’ requirements. It is possible to navigate and track elderly people inside a building. The system uses panic bottom for handling emergency situations. The outcome of the project can be used in different areas of an indoor navigation system.
