PedNav

PedNav is an application that helps you plan your activities efficiently when moving around and interacting with an urban environment. Like a good personal assistant, PedNav first inquires about your general plans for the day. For example, you may want to stop by a certain store, have lunch at a nearby cafe, visit an attraction you heard about, or catch a new movie. PedNav is aware of the location and schedule of relevant "venues" (like restaurants, offices, shops or attractions) near you and of the necessary transportation (bus or trains) to reach these venues. Based on the information you provide, and on the schedules of venues and transportation, PedNav creates a personalized "itinerary": a time-orderly list of events for the day, specifying when to go where, and how to get there. For example, an itinerary may contain instructions about when to be at a bus stop, which bus to take, where to get out, and when to begin and end an activity at a specific location (such as having lunch at a conveniently located cafe).
