Abstract: |
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS)
have become very popular in recent years. These systems provide a
contemporary layer of automation named automatic object location detection.
Location measurements involve the transmission and reception of signals
between hardware components of a system. A RTLS consists of at least two
separate hardware components: a signal transmitter and a measuring unit. The
positioning of the components in the monitored area is of great importance
(regarding both location accuracy and resources required). This work presents
the development of 3D software that can simulate the installation of a RTLS
network in a virtual representation of the real world, helping in the
decision making for the setup of such a network. The software utilizes a
modified site survey algorithm, specifically developed to suit the needs of
RTLS. Furthermore, it is capable of identifying the distance between two
wireless nodes and the type and size of obstacles between them (walls,
furniture, reflecting surfaces) calculating their effect on the formation of
the network. |
