Abstract

In achieving the mobility assistance for the individuals with different disabilities, it is required to recognize places with different granularities defined based on human interest, which is hard to be accomplished using traditional GPS-based approaches. In order to meet this requirement, a space-identifying ubiquitous infrastructure designed upon the concept of the universal design has been proposed, which is capable of constructing a service that is aware of places of human interest using ubiquitous computing technologies. Upon this infrastructure, two case studies are performed in the existing civil space, consisting of a pedestrian navigation service for the individuals with different needs, and a mobility assistant service for the visually-impaired. Through these case studies, the possibilities of the proposed infrastructure are discussed.
