Hybrid Campus Navigation System: Seamless Integration of Indoor and Outdoor Routing

Navigating large university campuses presents significant challenges due to the complexity of interconnected buildings, multiple floors, and varying environmental conditions. The system employs an admin-controlled node finding using the RRT-Connect algorithm and storage mechanism, enabling real-time map updates and path optimizations. Pathfinding is handled through Dijkstra’s algorithm, ensuring optimal route generation, while an interactive 3D visualization module enhances user experience by displaying multi-floor navigation paths. The system was evaluated on a university campus, demonstrating improved accuracy in navigation compared to traditional methods. The 3D visualization and real-time path up- dates significantly improved user navigation efficiency, reducing travel time across campus. Additionally, the system supports dynamic rerouting when obstacles are introduced, enhancing reliability. The proposed solution provides a scalable and efficient smart campus navigation framework that considers the dynamics of real-time adaptability, accessibility, and usability.
