Poster: Indoor Location System for Vehicles

This work describes a new alternative to solve the problem of indoor location for vehicles in places such as underground or indoor car parks in malls, where the use of GPS devices is either impossible or not precise enough. The new proposal is based on different methods that provide useful information about the location of the vehicle in this type of places. Moreover, the use of Bluetooth technology and QR codes is proposed to solve this problem through mobile phones or smartphones whose use has been spread in the last years. In particular, an Android application has been implemented to show the applicability of the proposed solution. Besides, thanks to the use of a web application that is synchronized with the mobile application, all the information about occupied and free parking spaces is automatically synchronized, what is very useful both for managers and for users of the car park. The results of the implementation are promising.
