On the WYSIWYAS Car Park Navigation System

This paper describes the car park navigation system that provides WYSIWYAS navigation using M-CublTS, investigation of how to realize the system, construction of an experimental system, and on-line experiments. Positioning in this system is performed by detection of M-CublTS elements painted in car parks using an on-board camera. In addition, this system provides the WYSIWYAS, that is, intuitive navigation by showing the suggested direction on the user's display with the front view using an arrow. By using constructed communication environment in car parks, the navigation system enables users to guide to parking spots that they can park in real time. We carry out experiments in an actual car park and check system operation. Moreover, we discuss error correction performance under severe conditions.
