Pedestrian Position and Pathway in the Design of 3D Mobile Interactive Navigation Aid (original) (raw)

The aim of navigation aid in general is to provide an optimal route from the current position to the destination. Unfortunately, there are lot of drawbacks from many navigation aids such as giving wrong directions to the destination, and lack of interaction with other users. This paper presents pedestrian positions and pathway determination for the design of 3D mobile interactive navigation aid. The system was developed and aims to help people navigate in an unfamiliar locations and to overcome the weaknesses of conventional 2D maps, which require users to interpret its various symbols and legends and also to present desired locations and routes to a high degree of accuracy. The system allows several mobile device users to view their own and other users’ locations at the same time, while being stationary or on-the-move. The role of 3D view is to add to an existing individual cognitive map. Voronoi diagram and its dual Delaunay triangulation are the algorithms used for establishing user positions and the optimum pathway to a target destination. Using this technique contributes to a well-defined positioning and pathway establishment in the design of navigation assisted systems.
