Abstract
Many researches on indoor navigation systems have been done in the last decades. Most of them consider either people without disabilities or a specific type of disabilities. In this paper, we propose a new model based on a universal design concept. Our approach employs a novel method for modeling indoor environment and introduce a new optimization criterion : minimizing the arduousness of the path. This criterion is based on the user’s profile and the inherent characteristics of amenities which may affect the displacement of the person. The performance of the proposed methods was tested and validated in a university building through an application for smart-phone.
