“…In addition, in the reference literature [32][33][34], the relative nonlinear adjustment pairing experiments were carried out, and it was found that when the sum of c 1 and c 2 is less than 3, the algorithm performance is the best. Therefore, the learning factor of asynchronous change strategy is adopted in this study, as shown in Equations (9) and (10). It is helpful to maintain the diversity of population and improve convergence speed of the algorithm.…”

Location-based services (LBS) have long been recognized as a significant component of the emerging information services. However, the localization cost and the performance of algorithm still need to be optimized. In the study, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm based on a feed-forward neural network (IMPSO-FNN) combined with RFID sensors is proposed, which can achieve the best indoor positioning location and overcome the problems effectively. In IMPSO-FNN, an improved PSO algorithm (IMPSO) is developed to determine the optimal connecting weights and markedly optimize the network parameters and structural parameters for the FNN, and then an optimal location prediction model is established by the IMPSO-FNN. To avoid the interference of environmental noise for the experimental data, some preprocessing methods are used during the positioning process. The computational results for learning two continuous functions show that the proposed positioning algorithm has a faster convergence rate and higher generalization performance. The model evaluation results also verify that the proposed positioning method really is superior to other algorithms in terms of the learning ability, efficiency, and positioning accuracy.

Availability of accurate location information of components decreases the search time and increases the chance of using shared resources. In our previously proposed framework, RFID tags are attached to components at an early stage of the lifecycle and their memory is used for various purposes throughout the lifecycle. In this paper, we propose to store various types of location-related information (e.g., current location, temporary location) on RFID tags. Details about how these data can help users (e.g., inspectors) find components in the operation phase are further elaborated. Furthermore, the paper discusses how the location data on tags can provide the users with their current location and predefined paths in the building. For example, a user equipped with an RFID reader is able to see his/her approximate location on a floor plan based on the information read from surrounding tags without having access to any Real-Time Location System. A case study is designed and implemented in a high-rise university building.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an indoor location identification methodology using low cost passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for construction projects. Method Location-aware information at construction sites is an emerging area, concerned with automating the delivery of spatial information on the location of materials, workforce, and equipment. This spatial information can provide knowledge on construction project status. Most RFID localization literature focuses on deploying active RFID tags, which are expensive and aimed at indoor localization. It has been experimented with in operating buildings but not on construction jobsites and with a different time span. For this paper low cost passive RFID-tags were used. Using this methodology, a number of passive RFID tags are distributed onsite where work is progressing and the user, such as the field superintendent, carries a mobile RFID-reader. The indoor construction work-active area is divided into exclusive zones for tracking. Each passive RFID-tag is used as a reference point with known location (LANDMARK) within a predefined zone. The reference tag's known location is used to estimate the location of the user. The methodology uses Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) as the main attribute for signal measurement to process the reader captured data. Two localization algorithms (Trilateration and Proximity) were used to identify the user location. After identifying the user's location, the user can take snapshots with a camera and write comments about onsite activities. The collected data will be then attached to the as-planned project schedule and related CAD drawings automatically at the identified location. This data is used to represent actual progress, which is then compared to as-planned baseline progress using earned value analysis. Results & Discussion An actual construction jobsite was used to build 5 test beds at different locations and different construction time spans. Experiments were conducted on the test beds to compare the results obtained from Trilateration and Proximity algorithms. The results shows mean error equals to 1m for Trilateration method with standard deviation of 0.4m and for Proximity method mean error equals to 1.76m with standard deviation of 0.5m. Indoor location identification could be utilized for tracking the project status.
