ABSTRACT
Today, although different transport services emerge based on an Internet of things(IoT) and location-based service(LBS), persons vulnerable to transport walking such as visually impaired persons, aged persons, and children are still on a poor urban environment. A new service supporting our transport environment is needed for persons vulnerable to transport walking. This paper aims to propose a smart block service that supports transport walking. This service consists of three parts: a location-based IoT platform, a mobile application, and smart blocks. In this paper, we present a concept of the smart block service and a method to develop it. We are now developing a prototype and will introduce developmental experiences, tests, and evaluation of it in further research.
KEYWORDS
Smart block service, Persons vulnerable to transport walking, Internet of things, Location-based service.
