MAP ELEMENT EXTRACTION MODEL FOR PEDESTRIAN ROUTE GUIDANCE MAP

A route map for the patients journey

Background The Route Map for Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is a user led research project to create a repository of information and knowledge about two specific rare diseases. This Route Map provides a comprehensive resource to be used by patients, families and health and social care professionals. From our survey we know that more that 60% of our patients with ALD ...

Map Matching for Vehicle Guidance (Draft)

The past years have revealed a dramatically increasing interest in the use of mobile Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in various automotive applications. Car navigation systems employ digital maps to guide the driver to the desired destination. Next generation driver assistance systems will use enhanced maps in order to present precise navigation hints (including speed limits, locations o...

Versatile Route Descriptions for Pedestrian Guidance in Buildings – Conceptual Model and Systematic Method

In this paper, we tackle the challenging problem of guiding pedestrians in buildings. We propose a conceptual model for indoor environments, based only on regions and their boundaries. It needs to be computed just once. Our approach covers different phenomena, in particular irregular, nonconvex regions which are not trivial. Visibility is modelled implicitly and can be determined efficiently. W...

POWerNAV Map Data in Augmented Reality for Better Pedestrian Navigation

1 ABSTRACT Interpreting a map in real time, whether it be on paper or a smartphone, is often confusing and time-consuming. POWerNAV (Pedestrian Overlay onto World of Navigational Augmented View) is designed to improve the pedestrian navigation process by overlaying data from a map, like building names and streets, onto the user view via augmented reality (AR). The overlay integrates map data wi...
