Experiment of Propagation for Development of the RTLS to the Consturction site

Recently, researches on the construction information for construction of high-tech cities are under performed. RTLS(Real-Time location system) for gathering the dynamic location information of construction resources in construction sites, such as workers, materials and equipments, is one of the developments. Especially, construction resources can be managed efficiently with the dynamic location information and the improvement of safety and the reduction of cost are expected. To introduce the RTLS to the construction sites, the installation location of AP(Access Point) must be simulated using the 3-dimensional visibility analysis considering the propagation distance of AP. In this research, 3-dimensional signal simulation software based on the spatial data using surveying terrestrial LiDAR is developed. The simulated results are compared with the signal strength of field experiments for 4 test sites. As a result, the signal strength from the propagation model is most similar to that of field experiment at the front of the main building and the maul playground of Konkuk University. The visibilities in that sites are higher than other sites. among 4 test sites.
