Abstract :
This paper deals with a novel system to assist weak people in exploring indoor environment. The system is based on a WSN and smart paradigms which extract a suitable information from data collected through the multi-sensor architecture. Such information is then provided to the user for a safe and efficient exploitation of the environment and to the supervisor for a suitable assessment and management of hazard situations.
