# Hybrid Urban Navigation for Smart Cities

## TL;DR

This paper introduces a hybrid urban navigation system that integrates GPS, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and RFID infrastructure to enable safe, efficient navigation for various agents in smart city environments.

## Contribution

It presents a novel hybrid navigation architecture combining multiple communication modalities for comprehensive city-wide coverage.

## Key findings

- Proposed system supports high-speed drone navigation.
- Enables safe guidance for visually impaired pedestrians.
- Integrates diverse data sources for robust urban navigation.

## Abstract

This paper proposes a design for a hybrid, city-wide urban navigation system for moving agents demanding dedicated assistance. The hybrid system combines GPS and vehicle-to-vehicle communication from an ad-hoc network of parked cars, and RFID from fixed infrastructure -such as smart traffic lights- to enable a safely navigable city. Applications for such a system include high-speed drone navigation and directing visually impaired pedestrians.
