Optimal Navigation

The full title is Towards an Optimal Navigation through Natural Guidance.

Description

The project Towards an Optimal Navigation through Natural Guidance aims at providing drivers in a car with unobtrusive guidance based on intuitive navigation commands that allow drivers to make driving decisions with confidence. The guidance should be real-time, context-adaptive, and non-interruptive.

Approach

The approach combines theoretical models with simulations and prototype and user studies.
