Abstract
Abstract
This paper presents a method for improving the accuracy of determining a person's proximity to a building entrance in urban and indoor settings, where the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) signals are often interfered with. Fuzzy logic can be applied to variations in signal strengths in order to interpret the inverse relationship between GPS signals weakening and WiFi signals strengthening as a person approaches or enters a building. As a result, a fuzzy set for GPS signal strengths between 14 and 33 dBm and WiFi signal strengths between –68 and –31 dBm is created, separating them into weak, medium, and strong signals. By using fuzzy rules, the system can accurately determine if a user is 'far,' 'near,' or 'at' an entrance, mimicking real-life transitions from outdoor to indoor environments. The accuracy of this approach exceeded 90% based on real-world data, and it significantly improved user experience in navigation applications, particularly in cases where GPS does not work well.
