A Tracking and Location Detection System Using ZigBee Wireless Network

Abstract

With the development of wireless networks and embedded systems, it is increasingly popular to make use of these technologies to tracking and location detection applications. ZigBee is a low power, low cost, low data rate and low complexity wireless technology for personal-area and device-to-device networking. In this paper, a practical ZigBee based tracking and positioning system for objects and personnel is proposed. Besides, the system architecture, system components as well as their functionalities are presented. Furthermore, the commercial application results have shown that the proposed system is suitable for tracking and location detection.
