Abstract

These days, Tracking has become one of the most important issues dealing with public security, and the term has been used is Global Positioning System (PGS). In order to track personnel anytime within a building, an indoor localization system is required. It should at least able to know the current location of the personnel in terms of floor level or room location. Besides, it should be able to track the movement direction of personnel inside the building. This indoor localization system should be a real-time system that has minimum response time to get the location information and easy accessible by users. Quartus Prime 15.1, Arduino IDE 1.8.1 and Android Studio are used in this project as development CAD tool. The system is implemented on FPGA DE1-SoC board by integrating with WiFi modules and Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) system. The system has the ability to add new client data onto FPGA memory for next time tracking purpose. The localization information can be obtained by accessing the mobile application where someone can key in the client name, employee ID or floor number to get the corresponding result. Moreover, the designed system achieved high operating frequency up to 1.6GHz and on chip resources of 188 logic elements and 143 registers.
