Pedestrian navigation is a complex function of human dynamics, a desired destination, and the presence of obstacles. People cannot stop and start instantaneously and their turning...
Real-time systems are growing in complexity and realtime and soft real-time applications are becoming common in general-purpose computing environments. Thus, there is a growing ne...
