A Context-Aware Navigating and Guiding System in University of Mosul

Abstract

This work designs and develops indoor and outdoor navigation architecture for accurate positioning in small areas. It combines sophisticated technologies, including GPS, Google Maps API, and spatial and descriptive data, to create a precise and user-friendly navigation solution. In addition, maintaining an updated database and integrating interactive features facilitates the adoption of future advanced technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi networks for improved accuracy in indoor navigation. This architecture is applied at the University of Mosul to guide students and visitors aboard the large university with many campus facilities.  The application allows users to find specific colleges and facilities, look for destinations, and find the shortest way to reach their desired location. The testing results show that the application is efficient regarding location accuracy and response speed, with a 95% user satisfaction rate.
