Like Smart Home and Smart Devices, Smart Navigation has become necessary to travel through the congestion of the structure of either building or in the wild. The advancement in smartphone technology and incorporation of many different precise sensors have made the smartphone a unique choice for developing practical navigation applications. Many have taken the initiative to address this by developing mobile-based solutions. Here, a cloud-based intelligent traveler assistant is proposed that exploits user-generated position and elevation data collected from ubiquitous smartphone devices equipped with Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, and GPS (Global Positioning System) sensors. The data can be collected by the pedestrians and the drivers, and are then automatically put into topological information. The platform and associated innovative application allow travelers to create a map of a route or an infrastructure with ease and to share the information for others to follow. The cloud-based solution that does not cost travelers anything allows them to create, access, and follow any maps online and offline. The proposed solution consumes little battery power and can be used with lowly configured resources. The ability to create unknown, unreached, or unrecognized rural/urban road maps, building structures, and the wild map with the help of volunteer traveler-generated data and to share these data with the greater community makes the presented solution unique and valuable. The proposed crowdsourcing method of knowing the unknown would be an excellent support for travelers.
像智能家居和智能设备一样，智能导航已经成为穿越建筑物或野外结构拥堵的必要手段。智能手机技术的进步和众多不同精确传感器的结合，使得智能手机成为开发实用导航应用的独特选择。许多人已经主动通过开发基于移动的解决方案来解决这个问题。在这里，提出了一种基于云的智能旅行者助手，它利用了从配备加速度计、陀螺仪、磁力计和 GPS（全球定位系统）传感器的普及智能手机设备收集的用户生成的位置和海拔数据。数据可以由行人和驾驶员收集，然后自动转换为拓扑信息。该平台和相关创新应用程序允许旅行者轻松创建路线或基础设施的地图，并共享信息供其他人遵循。基于云的解决方案不向旅行者收取任何费用，允许他们在线和离线创建、访问和遵循任何地图。所提出的解决方案消耗的电池电量很少，并且可以在低配置资源上使用。借助志愿者旅行者生成的数据创建未知、未到达或未被识别的农村/城市道路地图、建筑物结构和野外地图的能力，并将这些数据与更广泛的社区共享，使得所提出的解决方案具有独特性和价值。这种众包的未知知识方法将是旅行者的绝佳支持。
