@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005443, title = {A Route Guidance System for Car Finding in Indoor Parking Garages}, author = {Pei-Chun Lee and Sheng-Shih Wang}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {This paper presents a route guidance system for car owners to find their cars in parking garages. The presents system comprises a positioning-assisting subsystem and a car-finding mobile app. The positioning-assisting subsystem mainly uses the iBeacon technology for indoor positioning. The car-finding mobile app guides car owners to their cars based on a non-map navigation strategy. This study also designs a virtual coordinate system to support identifying the locations of parking spaces and iBeacon devices. We use Arduino and Android as the platforms to implement the proposed positioning-assisting subsystem and car-finding mobile app, respectively. We have also deployed the system in a parking garage in our campus for testing. Experimental results verify that our system can efficiently and correctly guide car owners to the parking spaces of their cars.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {10}, year = {2016}, pages = {1715 - 1720}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005443}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/118}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 118, 2016}, }
