SELF-NAVIGATION INTERFACE SYSTEM IN COMPLEX BUILDINGS USING MICROCONTROLLER

Abstract

Self-navigation technology proves to be among the most advanced methods for locating specific positions. However, it remains challenging to accurately determine desired locations within intricate building structures using self-navigation. This research introduces a cutting-edge Self-Navigation and Interface System designed to address the complexities of indoor navigation in diverse environments such as universities, banks, shopping centres, and restaurants. The system leverages microcontroller technology as its control system, featuring a bespoke app interface integrated with microcontroller and Bluetooth modules. The app, accessible via system-installed touchscreens or mobile phones, empowers users to effortlessly select specific location points, streamlining navi gation within intricate indoor spaces. A key highlight of the system is its utilization of LED lights; each assigned a unique color, to guide users along the optimal path leading to different destinations. This innovative approach provides clear visual cues enhancing user orientation. Moreover, when transitioning to different indoor locations, the system seamlessly incorporates a map display feature through the app, offering users a compre hensive view of their surroundings. The microcontroller-based control system ensures the synchronization of LED lights and map displays, offering users a user-friendly and effi cient means of navigating complex environments. Bluetooth modules facilitate real-time communication between the app and the system, ensuring timely updates and responsive interaction. This research contributes to the advancement of self-navigation systems, par ticularly in multi-story buildings where traditional navigation solutions may fall short. The seamless integration of microcontroller technology, LED lights, and Bluetooth mod ules establishes a robust platform for creating an intelligent and accessible self navigation experience. The proposed system not only streamlines navigation within di verse indoor environments but also enhances user interaction through an intuitive app in terface, thus addressing the evolving needs of modern navigational systems.
