“…Similarly, the authors in [35] also target a similar problem of dynamic and time-dependent route planning which takes into account the prediction of traffic status using historical data and live traffic status into account. A greedy path planning algorithm [36] is developed for visually impaired people to smoothly navigate in a shopping mall by minimizing the number of turns and total distance. The idea can also be generalized to any other similar venue whose navigation map exists.…”

“…Considering path dynamics in such approaches is beneficial, however, they require more computational resources and internet connectivity, resulting in development of more power-hungry devises to be used during path navigation. Similarly, the idea to have minimum number of turns is practical, however, it can result in generating longer paths [36]. Finally, mimicking the scenario of robots with VIPs [37] [38] cannot be mapped entirely in its spirit to that of VIPs, since VIPs as human are intelligent to feel the environment to make adjustments during their navigation.…”

“…In [6], [7] authors have developed a robotic arm, allowing wheelchair users to individually collect an object from a shelf. [8] has presented an algorithm which returns the optimum path from a source to a destination, and re-orients the user if an obstacle is detected along the path. In fact, navigation path has been studied in robotic movement context [9], [10], [11], where the robot studies all environments and proposes a path to reach the destination while averting any obstacle that can be found in the user environment.…”

Despite a rapid technological evolution in the field of technical assistance for people with motor disabilities, their ability to move independently in a wheelchair is still limited. New information and communication technologies (NICT) such as augmented reality (AR) are a real opportunity to integrate people with disabilities into their everyday life and work. AR can afford real-time information about buildings and locations' accessibility through mobile applications that allow the user to have a clear view of the building details. By interacting with augmented environments that appear in the real world using a smart device, users with disabilities have more control of their environment. In this paper, we propose a decision support system using AR for motor disabled people navigation assistance. We describe a real-time wheelchair navigation system equipped with geological mapping that indicates access path to a desired location, the shortest route towards it and identifies obstacles to avoid. The prototyped wheelchair navigation system was developed for use within the University of Lille campus.

It is a challenging task for the blind people to perceive indoor environment information and walk independently. Path planning is a crucial requirement to provide constant assistance for blind people to navigate from one location to another. This paper presents a novel system for path planning to assist blind people for walking through the indoor environment and avoiding the obstacles. The algorithm is based on genetic algorithm and A* algorithm to select the shortest path that achieves the lowest computational time. A comparison a mong the GA, A* and the new algorithm shows that is faster and shorter than the previous algorithms.
