Abstract
Recently, the studies for human ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) are performed actively. We proposed a portable human navigation system which can navigate pedestrians by only portable devices. The system detects the pedestrian's position by dead reckoning. Therefore, the proposed system can be used in any place. We construct the portable human navigation system, and also examine the navigation methods. The fundamental method is based on voice information. The expanded method uses both voice and visual information. We made some walking experiments both outside and inside of the buildings to evaluate the proposed system. As a result, we confirmed that the proposed system can navigate pedestrians to the destination without stress.
