Abstract
The usage of indoor map applications is growing and their importance is also increasing within the group of people with disabilities. Therefore, different approaches were already developed to support the users on their way. Though, these solutions don’t prevent them from running into a dead end because of unknown insurmountable barriers. These barriers are often not included inside the data set of a building since they have no fixed locations and are temporary. For this reason, it is important to classify them on their characteristics and to develop a system that detects them and makes them available for routing applications. To address this, we present a classification of barriers founded on their time dependency within this paper and show an exemplary subdivision based on the three barrier types stairs, defect elevator, and wet floor. Furthermore, we draft a first proposal for the possibilities of developing an adaptive system for routing people with disabilities that captures time-critical barriers.
