A simple personnel navigation platform is proposed in this study by using the radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and smart mobile device. In the design, the RFID devices play as locators for providing the location information and a smart mobile device acts as the trip guider for calculating the shortest routing path and giving the direction for the movement of personnel to the set desired destination. Experimental results on a selected campus environment are obtained to demonstrate the success of the proposed design.
