Abstract

This paper introduce a real time indoor navigation system dedicated to assist the handicapped persons inside hypermarkets. This system is designed to guide them during their shopping to show them, in real time, the way to find their items. The particularity of this system is that it represents a GPS indoor system which determines the user's location in the hypermarket and computes the shortest path to pick up all items. In this paper, we will focus on the itinerary optimization problem. For this, we will introduce a method to compute the distance between any two items in the hypermarket and find the shortest way.
