“…UniBS4All [12,59] pursues this goal for outdoor wayfinding and navigation, by providing route generation for private cars and public transportation, beyond accessible pedestrian paths; users that do not declare any type of disability can use the application as well, finding the same features of well-known commercial map navigators. A similar approach is adopted in [10], where the goal is making a university campus accessible to all students and visitors. All kinds of users are considered in [108], with a focus on public transportation, while only pedestrian paths in indoor and outdoor environments are taken into account in the GAWA project [121], which adopts UD and multi-modal interaction customized to users' characteristics.…”

“…The WiFi infrastructure can be used to increase the localization accuracy of the smartphone (e.g., [4,58]) or as localization strategy exploiting passive tracking and WiFi triangulation (e.g., [10,130]). This technique has the advantage to avoid the deployment of additional infrastructures, benefiting from existing WiFi network infrastructures.…”

Urban environments, university campuses, and public and private buildings often present architectural barriers that prevent people with disabilities and special needs to move freely and independently. This paper presents a systematic mapping study of the scientific literature proposing devices, and software applications aimed at fostering accessible wayfinding and navigation in indoor and outdoor environments. We selected 111 out of 806 papers published in the period 2009–2020, and we analyzed them according to different dimensions: at first, we surveyed which solutions have been proposed to address the considered problem; then, we analyzed the selected papers according to five dimensions: context of use, target users, hardware/software technologies, type of data sources, and user role in system design and evaluation. Our findings highlight trends and gaps related to these dimensions. The paper finally presents a reflection on challenges and open issues that must be taken into consideration for the design of future accessible places and of related technologies and applications aimed at facilitating wayfinding and navigation.
