Abstract :
We introduce a subway information system which utilize WiFi location technology for supporting a person in the underground. The system is composed of a mobile terminal with a WiFi device and a communication server. We have developed seven location aware applications for the mobile terminal. Each of the application helps the user with current location information. We have performed a demonstration experiment in the subway of Nagoya City with 35 subjects and got a positive acceptance of the system.
