Location Update Accuracy in Human Tracking system using Zigbee modules

چکیده
A location and tracking system becomes very important to our future world of pervasive computing. An algorithm for accurate location information is being incorporated in the human walking model and in the blind human walking model. We want to implement an accurate location tracking mechanism using Zigbee along with GPS, we have incorporated Markov chain algorithm for establishing accuracy. Normal Human and blind human walking steps were actually taken in the known environment within our campus and the Markov chain algorithm was used for smoothening the stepwise variation in location updates. A comparison module is also implemented to show the difference between normal human and blind human walking step variations. This accuracy is used for designing a blind tracking device so that the device can be used by the blind for finding the path without obstacles. We present a systemlevel approach to localizing and tracking Human and blind users on a basis of different sources of location information [GPS + Zigbee]. The system can be applied outdoors especially for avoiding accidents, GPS as the source of location data. Performance evaluation shows that the system is accurate and it is a future path finding device with service for the blind.
