Campus Routing Using QR Code

Abstract

Abstract In today’s modernized world, proficiency is at a step forward expecting the man kind to be in advance. This elevation can be seen in various aspects of diversification which majorly include raising number of Smart cities around us. A smart city explains itself as the one, which consists of complex infrastructures, that takes help of communication technologies to increase operational efficiency. Increasing complexity in the infrastructure of institutions, organizations and even malls, make user more reliant on the navigation services. But these navigational services that are in use today are constrained to open areas. So, this Campus Routing using QR code is proposed, to provide better indoor navigation. It describes development of a web-based application that is designed for providing both outdoor and indoor routing to meet the user’s requirement and the same is extended to implement in exam halls for providing route pictures to students of different rooms. There are various solutions exist in the market for indoor navigation using NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, but their reliability at every situation is not ideal. Unlike previously proposed solutions this paper chose a different implementation technique by developing a full stack web application that helps in both indoor and outdoor navigation i.e., it involves creating a client interface at frontend and a server at backend. Maps used here are predefined using Auto-Cad tool, stored in database and are retrieved upon user’s request. These route pictures (Maps) can be accessed by the user through the mobile phone using QR code.
