Abstract
Systems and methods for leveraging micro-location devices for improved travel awareness are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system for performing a location-based action in a network of micro-location devices may include a plurality of micro-location devices, each micro-location devices associated with a unique identifier and a location, each of the plurality of micro-location devices transmitting a signal comprising its associated unique identifier; a backend in communication with a database, the database storing the unique identifier and location associated with each of the micro-location devices; and a mobile device that receives a signal comprising a unique identifier from one of the plurality of micro-location devices and communicates the unique identifier to the backend. The backend may determine a mobile device location based on the unique identifier received from the mobile device and may perform an action based on the mobile device location.
