Guided Walking to Direct Pedestrians toward the Same Destination

In this paper, we propose a floor covering-type walking guidance sheet to direct pedestrians without requiring attachment/detachment. Polarity is reversed with respect to the direction of walking in the guidance sheet such that a pedestrian travelling in any direction can be guided toward a given point. In experiments, our system successfully guided a pedestrian along the same direction regardless of the direction of travel using the walking guidance sheet. The induction effect of the proposed method was also evaluated.
