![]() ![]() Lastly, the results were discussed, and relevant conclusions were drawn.īluetooth, Localization, Navigation Assistance, Received Signal Strength Indicator, Visually Impaired Experiments were then conducted, and surface plots of Bluetooth modules were obtained to show the signal interference and other environmental effects. ![]() The PCB was designed and manufactured as well. ![]() The software required was developed in National Instruments LabView. To validate the new method, class 2 Bluetooth devices (Blue Giga WT-12) were used with an evaluation board. This paper focuses on improving the existing methodology of measuring RSSI by proposing a new method using trilateration for localization of Bluetooth devices for visually impaired people. RSSI measurement estimations of Bluetooth systems can be improved either by improving the existing methodologies used to implement them or by using fusion techniques that employ Kalman filters to combine more than one RSSI method to improve the results significantly. RSSI measurement estimations depend heavily on the environmental interference. Received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to measure RSS, has been found to be more reliable. Time difference of arrival (TDOA), time of arrival (TOA) and received signal strength (RSS) have been widely used for the positioning but narrow band signals such as Bluetooth cannot efficiently utilize TDOA or TOA. Many techniques have been discussed in the literature with respect to location-based services and techniques used for the positioning of devices. Localization for visually impaired people in dynamically changing environments with unexpected hazards and obstacles is a current need.
