Development of a navigation system with a route planning algorithm using body-worn sensors

Published: 24 November 2008 Publication History

Abstract

There are many kinds of events where participants converge and move around freely looking at points of interest. Since in these event spaces, the participants go where they want, some problems may arise for the event manager such as people staying in one area too long or congestion that occurs at specific attractions. Therefore, we propose here a new navigation system that has a route planning algorithm to satisfy the objectives of the event manager. In an actual test of our system, we found that the participants' actions were in line with the objectives of the event manager. Moreover, we also found that our system performs better by using wearable computing technologies because detailed information on participants is acquired.
