CaNPAs: A Campus Navigation and Parking Assistant System

Campus navigation and parking assistant system (CaNPAs) is a driver and pedestrian guidance and parking information system designed for use on university, company and government campuses and building complexes. The system communicates with its user via simple portable devices and can provide each user with voice navigation directions along the way to the user´s destination. It also can provide information on available parking spaces at and around the user´s destination and along the selected route. The system is designed to be low cost, easy to deploy and maintain. This paper describes its architecture and implementation.
