Modelling an Indoor Crowd Monitoring System based on RSSI-based Distance

Abstract

This paper reports a real-time localization algorithm system that has a main function to determine the location of devices accurately. The model can locate the smartphone position passively (which do not need a set on a smartphone) as long as the Wi-Fi is turned on. The algorithm uses Intersection Density, and the Nonlinear Least Square Algorithm (NLS) method that utilizes the Lavenberg-Marquart method. To minimize the localization error, Kalman Filter (KF) is used. The algorithm is computed under Matlab approach. The most obtained model will be implemented in this Wi-Fi tracker system using RSSI-based distance for indoor crowd monitoring. According to the experiment result, KF can improve Hit ratio of 81.15 %. Hit ratio is predicting results of a location that is less than 5 m from the actual area (location). It can be obtained from several RSSI scans, the calculation is as follows: the number of non-error results divided by the number of RSSI scans and multiplied by 100%.
