These base stations can form virtual digital electronic fences and receive signals from blind devices, such as wearable devices or equipment tags. The positioning area is divided into rectangular or triangular subareas and the location of a blind device can be accurately located in real time using the measured strength of received signals and topology analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"505\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/locatingtwophaseapproach.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/locatingtwophaseapproach.png 839w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/locatingtwophaseapproach-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beaconzone.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/locatingtwophaseapproach-768x462.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The proposed method has an average error of less than 0.5 meters in the worst scenario and can be easily used in various environments.
