Abstract
The goal of our project (“Ouvej”) is to conceive and realize a navigation helping system for disabled, and more specifically visually impaired people, designed around a Global Positioning System (GPS). In this article, we firstly describe the general situation of navigation in an urban environment for disabled people and the context in which our project takes place. Then we describe the global architecture of the project and the prototype that has already been built. In the third part, we clarify the expected profits of using User Modeling (UM) and Case Based Reasoning (CBR) techniques and then describe our user model. Finally, we indicate our plans and future works.
