Collaborative Mapping for Pedestrian Navigation in Security Applications [PDF]
In rescue missions or law enforcement applications, accurate determination of every team member’s position and providing this information on a map may significantly improve mutual situation awareness and potentially reduce the risk of accidentally harming a team member.

Vector-based pedestrian navigation in cities [PDF]
How do pedestrians choose their paths within city street networks? Researchers have tried to shed light on this matter through strictly controlled experiments, but an ultimate answer based on real-world mobility data is still lacking. Here, we analyze salient features of human path planning through a statistical analysis of a massive dataset of GPS ...

Ultrasound-aided pedestrian dead reckoning for indoor navigation [PDF]
Ad hoc solutions for tracking and providing navigation support to emergency response teams is an important and safety-critical challenge. We propose a navigation system based on a combination of foot-mounted inertial sensors and ultrasound beacons.

Pedestrian Augmented Reality Navigator
Navigation is often regarded as one of the most-exciting use cases for Augmented Reality (AR). Current AR Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) are rather bulky and cumbersome to use and, therefore, do not offer a satisfactory user experience for the mass market yet. However, the latest-generation smartphones offer AR capabilities out of the box, with sometimes

Reevaluation of Algorithmic Basics for ZUPT-Based Pedestrian Navigation
During the last 10 to 15 years, pedestrian navigation based on zero velocity updates (ZUPT) has become very popular. One of the main reasons for this is the increasing availability of small, low-cost inertial measurement units. However, the processing of

The Impact of Obstacle’s Risk in Pedestrian Agent’s Local Path-Planning
While the risk from the obstacle could significantly alter the navigation path of a pedestrian, this problem is often disregarded by many studies in pedestrian simulation, or is hindered by a simplistic simulation approach.

Gradient navigation model for pedestrian dynamics [PDF]
We present a new microscopic ODE-based model for pedestrian dynamics: the Gradient Navigation Model. The model uses a superposition of gradients of distance functions to directly change the direction of the velocity vector. The velocity is then integrated to obtain the location.
