 1. Aims and Objectives

Aim of the project

The goal of this work is to create a software with a mobile application that can display a
person's actual position and help them navigate the university. This software will also
have the capacity to augment reality by displaying 3D images of residences and a hybrid
road map for simplified location recognising.
Motivation
A campus has a complicated architecture that makes it difficult for visitors to get
around and discover locations, especially for new learners. There are numerous
distinct constructions on the site. The majority of the structures are interconnected.
Visitors do not always have assistance getting to their location, even though there
are guides at various locations on the campus.
While using a navigation system in a car to go to a destination is very widespread,
pedestrian navigation systems might be difficult to discover. So, with the aid of
contemporary tools, it feasible to assist freshmen and other uninitiated individuals in
locating locations on campus and assisting them in self-orientation through campus
navigation app

Objectives
 Provide a helpful, educational, mobile-based campus navigation solution
 Provide all the necessary information to ensure simple, precise tracking and
identification of different buildings and departments.
 Assist students, especially new ones, and visitors in getting where they need to go
without experiencing any difficulties.

Challenges

 Software fragmentation
 Device fragmentation
 Testing fragmentation
 User Interface and Design Rules
 Choosing suitable programming languages
  Third-party APIs for app compatibility requirements
 Use of powerful encryption technologies for security issues
 Storage Capacity and battery
 Availability of Internet

\
 2. Requirements

Essential Requirements

 Navigators can find indoor locations of the campus.

 Navigators can find outdoor locations of the campus.
 Outdoor locations can be found using AR or map view.
 Lecturers can login to the app.
 Lecturers can update their details like update availability and contact information.
 Admin can login to the app.
 Admin can update the indoor maps.

Recommended Requirements
 Users can find officials details.
 Users can find the availability of lecturers.
 Users can search the location by using keywords.
 Navigators should have route guide.

Optional Requirements
 Add Events Option can be added like Event Name, Event Location, contact etc.
 Lecturers can add their contact information.

3. Technical Specification
In the direction of build profitable approach, selecting suitable method and tools is
significant. Method Tools and technologies delivers essential procedures which lead designer
for the completion of system.

Technologies and Tools to Use

 Eclipse IDE
 Android SDK
 Android ADT
 Java Native Interface (JNI)
 OpenCV for Android
 Metaio SDK
 Google Play services SDK
 Google Location Services API
 Google Maps Android API
 Google Directions API
 Java Programming Language
  Android Studio

4. Requirements Evaluation Plan

Evaluation of system

for a stretch with several steps. These include taking pictures, converting them to grayscale,
compressing them, transferring client data and pictures data to Xml file, transmitting XML
files to the server, and receiving JSON files from the server. includes getting and studying
construction-related data. based on camera view overlay data and JSON files.

Verification Plan

This system needs to be able to deliver authentic and reliable data. Nevertheless, coding and
networking faults may have an impact. As a result, your system must go through a number of
verification stages to assure correctness and dependability.

Testing

5. Data integrity testing

6. Junit testing
7. Functional testing
8. Load testing

9. Background Research and Reading list

 Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Florida Atlantic
University Boca Raton, FL 33421. Lana Zankina, Mihaela Cardei, Ionut Cardei, and
Daniel Raviv developed the University Assistance Software on an Android Platform.
The paper university assistance software for the Android operating system claims that
most of the software today, such as Google Maps and GPS, aid users in navigating
around specific environments. It is much better if the software is made exclusively for
the Android platform due to the widespread use of smartphones running the Android
operating system. In order to make navigation precise and seamless, this study makes
use of the most recent technological advancements. Numerous programmes exist that
can effectively guide users across a campus, but none of them offer recommendations
for both driving and walking while also taking the user's preferences into account.
Therefore, the campus assistant app for Android offers a variety of navigational
features, with precision playing a crucial role. How then can we direct the client and
offer him correct information is another problem. The sort of smart devices required
and how to handle situationally mobile computing are other topics covered in this
essay.

 Tahwa Campus of Science and Technology #1 Tahwa Rd. The Thorough Guiding and
Routing Services on Smart Phones by Hsien-Tang Lin Department of Digital Content
and Technology This essay mainly concentrates on guidance and navigating, two
 often used activities at particular periods. There are apps that offer navigational
functions, but the most of them are outside apps that cannot provide directions within
an university or a sizable region. As a result, the primary topic of this essay also
examines the issue of seamless movement throughout a campus or other vast location.
Additionally, this essay places a lot of emphasis on the point of interest (POI). POI is
a significant drawback of current navigational systems; hence this study also
examines it.

 Campus Geospatial Information System Development and Implementation Using

Google Maps Yang Yang East China Normal University's Research Centre for East-
West Cooperation in China, 200062 Shanghai, People's Republic of China. National
Education Bureau's Jianghua Zheng Oasis Ecology Key Lab is located at Zhejiang
College in Urumqi, People's Republic of China, 830046. Jianhua Xu East China
Normal University's Research Facility for East-West Collaboration in China,
200061 Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Shouyi Lin East China Normal
University's Research Facility for East-West Cooperation in China, 200061 Shanghai,
individuals’ Republic of China. Here in this article, the university geospatial services
have been highlighted as a crucial component of the digitized university, in which the
geographic information system (GIS) plays a significant role. A traditional
information system must be overcome in order to give people access to
straightforward yet sophisticated navigation. This university geospatial service was
created with learners, attendees, guests, professors, and other users in mind, making it
simple for them to find their way about the university.
This system uses the B/S model, which is widely used. The system also fully utilises
free data and makes use of open-source development tools and component
functionality, which ultimately lowers the cost and difficulty of system development.
The digitalized campus geospatial service has been feasible by all these user-friendly
technologies, and it also presents promising application possibilities.

Risk plan
Step1: Setting up a WBS involves first determining the project's scope. Thus, you must
outline the development's objectives, deliverables, responsibilities, limits, etc.
Step 2: Recognize the important results. These main outcomes, which are essential to the
project's success, should be placed at Level 2 of your WBS.
Step 3: List the work packages or project deliverables that fall within your WBS's lowest
level. Bring your project team and stakeholders together to establish the total amount of effort
needed to complete the primary deliverables.
Step 4: Set up a WBS dictionary describing the types and scope of the chart's components
(work packages).
STEP 5: Make a thorough security analysis so that you can retrieve items in the event of a
loss.
