pedestrian navigation

Pedestrian navigation is the name for the route guidance with a mobile navigation device for pedestrians.

In comparison to the autonavigation, footpaths, pedestrian zones, parks and squares next to traffic roads are taken into account in the route calculation and are included. To this end, some geodata are regenerated and adapted to the needs of the target group. Pedestrians differ in their behavior towards motorists in the movement and search for the appropriate way. The shortest or fastest way is not always a priority for pedestrians. For him, the best possible combination of individual target points is crucial. Shops, restaurants or an attractive environment are important criteria when choosing a route. Useful add-ons for pedestrian navigation are provided by Points of Interest (POI) or Location Based Services. With the help of POIs, which are loaded onto the navigation device, the pedestrian finds, for example, museums, restaurants or skating rinks nearby and can be guided to them. Location-based services, also called location-related services, can also be integrated into navigation. Another useful option for pedestrian navigation is the integration of the public transport network into navigation. This way, you can be guided to your destination in connection with the subway, tram or bus. Edit sourcetext
