Abstract
An indoor navigation system based on passive RFID is described. It allows the user to move autonomously resorting to a grid of RFID tags for localization and simple procedures to determine the position and to plan the route. Ad-hoc designed RFID tags permit to achieve reliable and accurate position estimation while a proximity algorithm allows real-time localization. Many details of the localization infrastructure are shown together with some experimental results.
