Indoor Positioning for BIM

Indoor Positioning for BIM

Abstract

Building Informational Modeling (BIM) is very popular in the construction industry in Norway today, and Omega 365 has created a suite of tools for BIM, including a 3D visualising tool for 3D models of buildings, called a BIMViewer. This tool exists in multiple forms, and one of them is an app for mobile phones, which construction workers carry with them on construction sites. When determining one's own position in the BIMViewer, it may take time to find and select the correct position. This study aims to create a feature for the BIMViewer using new technology, IEEE802.11mc and comparing it with an old method, Wi-Fi received signal strength (RSS) with the Log Distance Path Loss model. In addition, GPS was tried in order to prove it was not usable for this use case and in order to compare it with the other two methods. The main goal is to find a method that is cheap for clients to implement in regards to equipment and installation, but is precise enough to provide a good user experience. Three experiments were conducted for this study, one using only GPS and two for the other two methods. One experiment used only a single floor and the other used two floors. Both of these experiments used only 6 access points and were conducted at NyeSUS, the new hospital in Stavanger which was an active construction zone during the experiments. The experiments showed that GPS was a bad choice for the use case and that both the other methods were usable. The round trip time (RTT) method, which used the IEEE802.11mc measurements was more precise than the RSS method, however suffered from the need for more access points than the RSS method. This study concludes that both the RTT and the RSS methods may be usable, however some improvements would be needed for a truly good user experience. The study also suggests that a mix of the two methods may be beneficial.
