Indoor Navigation Web App Development
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
1. Project Overview
The Indoor Navigation Web App will provide step-by-step navigation using uploaded floor plans. Users can search for a destination, and the app will display the optimal path along with textual instructions to guide them. The system does not rely on WiFi/Bluetooth-based positioning but instead focuses on predefined routes within the floor plan.
2. Key Features
2.1 Floor Plan Management
Upload and manage floor plans in image or vector format.
Interactive zoom, pan, and rotate functionalities.
Ability to mark key points of interest (POIs) such as rooms, exits, restrooms, and elevators.
2.2 Search & Route Calculation
Users can search for specific rooms, departments, or facilities.
AI-driven pathfinding (A* or Dijkstra) to determine the shortest route.
Ability to set multiple waypoints for multi-step navigation.
2.3 Step-by-Step Directions
Visual representation of the path overlaid on the floor plan.
Text-based step-by-step instructions (e.g., "Go straight for 10 meters, then turn left").
Dynamic recalculation of the route if needed.
2.4 User Interaction & UI/UX
Intuitive and responsive interface for web browsers.
Mobile-friendly design for easy access on smartphones.
Option to switch between different floors/buildings if applicable.
2.5 Admin Panel
Interface for uploading new floor plans and configuring routes.
Ability to update POIs and optimize navigation paths.
User management (optional for multi-user environments).
3. Technology Stack
Frontend:
React.js / Vue.js / Angular (for interactive UI)
Leaflet.js / OpenLayers / Mapbox (for floor plan rendering and navigation)
Backend:
Node.js with Express / Django / Flask (for handling routing and search queries)
PostgreSQL / MongoDB (for storing floor plan metadata and routes)
Pathfinding Algorithm:
A* Algorithm or Dijkstra’s Algorithm (for shortest path calculations)
4. System Workflow
Admin uploads the floor plan and defines POIs and pathways.
User searches for a location, and the system identifies the optimal path.
The path is displayed on the map, along with textual step-by-step instructions.
User follows the guidance to navigate to their destination.
