Hybrid Urban Navigation for Smart Cities
For smart city applications requiring robust navigation, but the proposal is conceptual with no validation.
The paper proposes a hybrid urban navigation system combining GPS, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and RFID to enable safe navigation for drones and visually impaired pedestrians. No concrete results or performance numbers are provided.
This paper proposes a design for a hybrid, city-wide urban navigation system for moving agents demanding dedicated assistance. The hybrid system combines GPS and vehicle-to-vehicle communication from an ad-hoc network of parked cars, and RFID from fixed infrastructure -such as smart traffic lights- to enable a safely navigable city. Applications for such a system include high-speed drone navigation and directing visually impaired pedestrians.
