Abstract
Large university campuses often lack accessible, building-level digital maps, making navigation difficult for new students, visitors, and staff. The existing solutions include static sign boards which are difficult to read and navigate, Google maps, which does not include all the paths and the irregular building shape, or booklets that are handed out which have similar problems. This paper presents a reproducible framework for developing a web based, interactive campus map using scalable vector graphics (SVG) and web technologies. This proposed pipeline allows institutions to convert their existing campus layout into an interactive map without specialized geographic information system (GIS) tools. This framework consists of five stages, layout digitization, region labelling, data integration, frontend scripting and deployment. A case study on Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering demonstrates the usability, adaptability and low resource requirements of this system.
