Navigation in a library using smartphones
In these times, when everyone wants to do as much
work as possible in the least amount of time, it is important
to make the workflow as efficient as possible. Spending an
unnecessary amount of time looking for things is therefore contra
productive. Using the library HafenCity University Hamburg
(HCU) as an example, this paper shows how the time required to
find a book can be reduced by introducing an indoor navigation
system for that purpose.
Acceleration sensors are used to realize a step counter. In
combination with gyroscope data a dead reckoning can be
carried out. The height information is derived of barometric
measurements. For additional support, routing graphs are
used to constrain the walking direction. With this setup and
the additional topological we achieve deviations between last
estimated to wanted position less than two meters
