Mapa interno interativo do campus UTFPR-Ct

Abstract

The use of indoor maps increased considerably with the popularization of smartphones, becoming common to depend on maps for localization and route planning for medium and long distance trips, however there is also a map category that addresses short distances in places like shopping malls, airports and universities. Those maps are known as indoor maps and represent small areas with a high level of detail. Several daily problems reinforce the importance of this work’s elaboration, for instance, students and teachers may be delayed due to the lack of information about the location of a particular room. In this work we present a prototype of an interactive indoor map for the Curitiba (CT) campus of the Federal University of Technology – Paraná. The results obtained show that the development of indoor maps is still a laborious task, however it can be done without relying on commercial tools, through free and open source software.
