Abstract
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are useful to estimate a user’s location in indoor situations. Because our university has numerous BLE beacons, they are easy to use for indoor route navigation. For this study, we propose a position estimation method using BLE beacons. Using this method, we eliminate the existing difficulty of error accumulation of earlier systems and improve indoor location estimation accuracy. We designed an indoor position estimation method and conducted an estimation accuracy evaluation experiment comparing the proposed method and existing methods. The experiment results underscore the effectiveness of the proposed method.
