Precise indoor navigation requires innovative technologies that can adapt to the specific challenges of these environments. Here are some key technologies that can be used for indoor navigation:

QR Codes:

QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned by smartphones or cameras. Indoor navigation using QR codes requires certain codes to be placed in relevant locations. Users scan these codes to receive instructions or location information. QR codes offer a simple and cost-effective solution.

Bluetooth (BLE):

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are small, energy-efficient devices that continuously emit signals. Smartphones and other devices can receive these signals and determine the exact position in the room based on the signal strength. BLE is particularly suitable for precise indoor positioning and navigation.

WLAN (Wi-Fi):

WLAN-based indoor navigation uses existing Wi-Fi networks in buildings. The position of a device can be determined by triangulating the signal strength of different Wi-Fi access points. WLAN is well suited to larger areas and offers a greater range.

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification):

RFID technology uses radio frequencies to exchange data between a reader and an RFID tag. In indoor navigation systems, RFID tags can be placed at strategic points and readers can recognize the tags to determine the position. RFID is particularly suitable for precise and cost-efficient indoor positioning.

Inertial navigation systems:

Inertial navigation uses sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers to track the movements of a device. This technology is good for determining directional changes and distances, but can be prone to cumulative errors.

Ultrasonic technology:

Indoor navigation systems can use ultrasonic waves to precisely determine the position of devices. By measuring the transit time of ultrasonic signals, precise distances can be calculated. Ultrasound is well suited to environments where other technologies may be limited.

The selection of the optimal technology depends on various factors, including accuracy requirements, costs, infrastructure and specific venue requirements. A combination of several technologies is often used to ensure comprehensive and reliable indoor navigation.
