Abstract
Anytime navigation is the UNAVIT’s ability to provide navigation assistance which will be suitable for different times. For example, a route that is optimal during daylight may not be considered quite so optimal during dark. Another example is a route that is suitable when the roads are dry may not be suitable, or even possible, when the roads are wet. Anytime navigation is only important and needed for outdoor navigation and has no impact on indoor navigation. In general, time-dependent factors affecting outdoor navigation are day, week, or season. Issues impacted by day are time (such as navigation during non-rush hours vs. during rush hours), event (such as navigation during holidays or during a major sporting event or concert), and weather conditions (such as dry, rain, or snow). These time-dependent navigation factors are further analyzed based upon mode of travel. In general, while time-dependent factors are generally the same for both driving and walking, their impact could be different as issues of driving on road segments might be different than walking on sidewalk segments at different times.
