STADPASS
Stadium indoor navigation app using BLE beacons
A mobile application for indoor navigation inside large stadiums using Bluetooth Low Energy beacon technology: find your seat, a facility or a food booth, and order from it without leaving it. Built by a five-person team under the Kampus Merdeka programme at Swiss German University, and tested against a simulated stadium rather than a live matchday.
Workflow
- 1BLE beacon hardware placement planning and SDK integration
- 2Interactive stadium map design with POI overlays
- 3Indoor positioning algorithm using signal triangulation
- 4In-app food purchase flow with real-time booth notifications
- 5End-to-end testing in a simulated stadium environment
Impact
The simulation established the flow end to end — positioning, seat finding and ordering. It could not establish matchday accuracy: BLE positioning reads signal strength, 2.4GHz is absorbed by water, and a stadium at capacity is the one condition an empty test cannot reproduce.
