“…Nevertheless, the importance of such a flexibility in pedestrian wayfinding is significant. Because, whether a certain route is a more appropriate choice than another or not, strongly depends on situational preferences and also on user preferences (Niaraki and Kim, 2009). In other words, navigation with mobile devices is affected by the variability of contexts and the diversity of users' preferences and capabilities (Delikostidis et al, 2015).…”

“…For example, some studies concentrated on only one criterion such as length, safety (Furukawa and Nakamura, 2013) or health (Sharker et al, 2012) to find the best route. Some other researches, took into account more than one criterion simultaneously; however, majority of them focused on multi-criteria path finding for vehicles (Niaraki and Kim, 2009;Pahlavani et al, 2012;Pahlavani and Delavar, 2014), or they developed multi-criteria wayfinding methods generally without specifying for pedestrians (Nadi and Delavar, 2011;Mohammadi and Hunter, 2012). * Corresponding author Apart from that, the most important limitation of the previous attempts in pedestrian wayfinding is the lack of proper consideration to service flexibility.…”

ABSTRACT:A myriad of novel applications have emerged nowadays for different types of navigation systems. One of their most frequent applications is Wayfinding. Since there are significant differences between the nature of the pedestrian wayfinding problems and of those of the vehicles, navigation services which are designed for vehicles are not appropriate for pedestrian wayfinding purposes. In addition, diversity in environmental conditions of the users and in their preferences affects the process of pedestrian wayfinding with mobile devices. Therefore, a method is necessary that performs an intelligent pedestrian routing with regard to this diversity. This intelligence can be achieved by the help of a Ubiquitous service that is adapted to the Contexts. Such a service possesses both the Context-Awareness and the User-Awareness capabilities. These capabilities are the main features of the ubiquitous services that make them flexible in response to any user in any situation. In this paper, it is attempted to propose a multi-criteria path optimization method that provides a Ubiquitous Pedestrian Way Finding Service (UPWFS). The proposed method considers four criteria that are summarized in Length, Safety, Difficulty and Attraction of the path. A conceptual framework is proposed to show the influencing factors that have effects on the criteria. Then, a mathematical model is developed on which the proposed path optimization method is based. Finally, data of a local district in Tehran is chosen as the case study in order to evaluate performance of the proposed method in real situations. Results of the study shows that the proposed method was successful to understand effects of the contexts in the wayfinding procedure. This demonstrates efficiency of the proposed method in providing a ubiquitous pedestrian wayfinding service.

Abstract-Current mobile systems for assisted navigation have limited effectiveness in satisfying user needs. The information content supporting location-based service discovery and path calculation is usually shallow. Semantic-based technologies can allow to overcome these limitations, by exploiting more accurate and meaningful descriptions of locations, points of interest, road segments and environmental conditions. This paper proposes a general framework leveraging an enriched cartography to enhance travel assistance and safety. The majority of available navigation systems is developed upon closed and proprietary solutions for both maps and software applications, so third parties cannot extend their functionality. Therefore the proposed framework is based on open standards and tools, particularly Semantic Web technologies and crowdsourced maps available from OpenStreetMap. A case study is presented to assess provided benefits.

“…Niaraki et al [14] introduced a technique which uses ontologies to annotate each road segment with both user preferences and context point of view, in order to find customized routes that best match specific needs. The solution was focused on personal route planning, hence the model and the process are not easily adaptable to the requirements of supply chain VRP scenarios.…”

Abstract. The paper proposes an integrated framework which uses knowledge representation theory and languages to annotate relevant product information in a semantically rich and unambiguous fashion so disclosing several added-value services in multiple supply chain stages, without depending on a back-end infrastructure. EPCglobal RFID protocol standard has been extended and further applied in an innovative supply chain model where production, packaging and logistics have a reduced ecological impact. Particularly, on-product information are leveraged in a more general Intelligent Transport System (ITS) framework enabling advanced delivery scheduling and product tracking.
