When the basic nonlinear filtering problem for dynamic systems is considered, in such case, the particle filter is one of the suitable methods that has perhaps become one of the most commonly used methods in recent years. Positioning or localization falls under such a nonlinear filtering problem. Positioning is a matter of interest for both domestic and industrial application, due to its potential use in wide range of context-aware services that it can enable by leveraging the Internet of Things approach. However, in areas where GPS signals are not available such as underground tunnel roadways, where the localization is done mostly using radio beacons. This study mathematically simulates tracking operation in such a tunnel-like situation and studied the position estimation by the particle filter. From the results, we were able to visualize how varying different configuration parameters affect the estimation accuracies and also get an idea of worst-case estimates by seeing its standard deviation of estimated positions for different instances of repeated experiments. And our results also confirmed that deploying additional beacons have a contribution to the improvement in error tolerance. However, the improvements are significantly notable only around the point where beacon has been added.
