Refined Route Instructions Using Topological Stages of Closeness

In pedestrian navigation, navigators are free to choose any passable way. Because of this characteristic, accurate route instructions are important when navigating from waypoint to waypoint. In this paper, a theoretical framework is described for dealing with position uncertainty in pedestrian guiding systems. Stages of closeness are defined based on the topological relation between the navigator and a waypoint. These stages of closeness allow for refining route instructions and, therefore, leading to more accurate navigation and increased efficiency of the system.
