Indoor positioning systems (IPS) use smartphones and other smart devices to track the time and distance of the device from points in a space, providing more accurate indoor navigation compared to GPS.
IPS utilizes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and other indoor signals to determine the location of smart devices, with the accuracy increasing as more reference points are tracked.
IPS technology has already been implemented in various locations such as theme parks, hospitals, malls, airports, and transportation hubs, aiding in navigation and tracking of individuals and assets.
The data collected from IPS can not only assist users in navigating indoor spaces but also serve as a valuable tool for businesses to analyze traffic patterns and optimize the flow of people within their premises.
