Abstract: Large campuses comprising educational institutions can be difficult to navigate, with numerous buildings and departments, and conventional solutions such as physical maps or static signage are generally unreliable and do not provide valid, up-to-the-minute directions. A project should involve developing a “Digital Campus Mapping and Navigation Solution” with a Java backend and an interactive web interface, providing an innovative user experience. The project will utilize an accurate digital map of the campus, the capabilities of location-based services, and advanced routing algorithms to compute the best possible routes among different classrooms, laboratories, administrative offices, and other university facilities. The service will be accessible via common web browsers and will allow users to look up locations, view digital maps, and obtain turn-by-turn directions. Additional functionality such as indoor positioning via QR codes will make the service even more convenient and increase its appeal.

Keywords: Campus Navigation, Digital Mapping, Indoor Navigation, Outdoor Navigation, Location-Based Services.
