Indoor positioning system server

This repository is an indoor positioning system who has the goal to locate users inside a building. It can use different fingerprint model to work. Here you will find the server part. It was written in JavaScript with NodeJs. You also need a database to save all fingerprints data.

This repository is a part of 2 other repository:

• System AP : indoor-positioning-system-ap
• Android app : indoor-positioning-system-android

Instalation

1. First install all dependencies by typing:

   npm install
   

2. Then you need to create a file named "databaseConf.js" with the database configuration (you can use the example as model). Place it inside the directory configurations

3. Launch the server:

   node server.js
   

Configuration

There are several parameters you can change to configure the server, there are all located inside the file: configurations/globalConf.js

Example

You can test the server with a sample of data, to load this data in your database, you can use the migration (sequelize-cli package need to be installed globaly)

sequelize --config configurations/databaseConf.json db:migrate
sequelize --config configurations/databaseConf.json db:seed:all

Then launch the server:

node server.js

We also wrote a script that simulates a user who want to be located:

node test/ClientTests.js

At the end you can remove all data inside the DataBase:

sequelize --config configurations/databaseConf.json db:migrate:undo:all
