Smart Campus Path

Abstract

The Smart Campus Path system provides an intelligent navigation solution for academic institutions by integrating digital mapping with efficient pathfinding techniques. The campus environment is modeled as a graph where key locations such as classrooms, laboratories, and administrative offices are represented as nodes connected through accessible pathways. The A* search algorithm is employed to analyze multiple routes and determine the shortest and most optimal path between a selected source and destination. The application features a user-friendly interface that allows users to choose their starting point and desired location. After processing the request, the system visually displays the computed path on the campus map. This approach enhances accessibility, reduces navigation time, and assists students, staff, and visitors in moving across the campus efficiently without confusion. Additionally, the system can be extended with GPS and Augmented Reality (AR) support for real-time navigation assistance.
