Zusammenfassung

This paper introduces Navigation Aid as the first development of the European project Assistants for Safe Mobility (ASSAM). By fusing odometry, GPS and map information with the help of a Monte Carlo particle filter, we provide precise outdoor localization for assistive devices such as a walker. This allows for the application of a navigation system that considers device-specific environments including sidewalks, cycleways, etc. Target group needs are addressed by a simple and intuitive user interface running on Android-powered devices
