Abstract
While indoor navigation in unfamiliar surroundings is challenging for pedestrians, it is even more so for persons bound to a wheelchair. Additionally, the necessary Wi-Fi infrastructure for fine grained RF fingerprinting-based indoor positioning is often unavailable. We propose a system completely self-contained within current smartphones, that allows people, wheelchair bound and others, to find their way in a building.
