Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of low matching efficiency and poor positioning accuracy when using iBeacon technology for fingerprint location in urban rail transit stations, a metro station fingerprint location method based on GAWK-means is proposed in this study. In the offline stage, the K-means Euclidean distance weight is optimized according to the discreteness of the fingerprint data to better reflect the intra-class similarity. Then, the improved K-means is combined with the genetic algorithm to optimize the clustering results to reduce the clustering results from falling into the local optimum. In the online stage, the K-nearest neighbor method is used to match the signal vector with the nearest sub-fingerprint database to get the location result, and the overall performance of the method is evaluated by the average positioning error. The experimental results show that the average positioning error of the GAWK-means algorithm is 1.52 m in the offline phase of the subway station. Compared with the un-clustered and traditional K-means clustering, the positioning error of the proposed method is reduced by more than 0.41 m.
