| Abstract | The progress of IoT technologies, which connect, control and operate everything in the physical world, is expected to realize secure and convenient societies and communities, and embodies a variety of smart city applications. However, not a few smart city applications are also "human-centric", which require individuals' and human crowds' locations and behavior. In this paper, we present our project that realizes a human tracking and sensing platform called Hitonavi for enabling location sharing and trajectory identification of people. The core technology is LIDAR-based highly-accurate tracking of people as well as human crowd detection, and smartphone-assisted trajectory identification for enabling "pinpoint" indoor location services in retail shops, exhibition halls, office buildings, commercial complex, train stations and so on. Leveraging these functions, we may build a variety of smart city applications on top of the Hitonavi platform, which would bring new values for smart communities, smart buildings and many other smart city applications. We introduce the concept and key technologies of the Hitonavi platform and discuss potential applications. |
