A Study on Navigation System for Pedestrians Based on Street Illuminations

The paper describes the our proposed pedestrian navigation system considering a street illumination sensing. The system provides pedestrians with an adequate route based on both of street illumination and distance to the destination. The system evaluates the cost of the route distance and the unsafe cost of the road illumination and finds the best route using Dijkstra graph search algorithm. In our system, wireless sensor network technology is applied to obtain the street illuminations.
