Design Solution
A proposal to create a mobile application that would use GPS and BLE to help foreigners navigate from their location to their desired location. Current mapping software only replies on GPS information so would only show a direct line from trains to the exit. With BLE beacon and station map information the navigation software would include directions inside train stations and airports with ability to select the use of escalators and elevators.
- Option to select routes that include elevators and escalators.
- Maps of train stations.
- Routes provide exact coordinates.
