This paper presents a route guidance system for car owners to find their cars in parking garages. The presents system comprises a positioningassisting subsystem and a carfinding mobile app. The positioningassisting subsystem mainly uses the iBeacon technology for indoor positioning. The carfinding mobile app guides car owners to their cars based on a nonmap 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 positioningassisting subsystem and carfinding 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.
