User guide system for a pedestrian path
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to guiding a user travelling along a path. In one embodiment, a method includes predicting, by a processor, a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data received by the processor. The user is travelling on a pedestrian path. The method further includes, in response to a predicted behavior, controlling a guide, by the processor, to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user.
1 . A method comprising:
predicting, by a processor, a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data received by the processor, the user travelling on a pedestrian path;
in response to a predicted behavior, controlling a guide by the processor to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user; and
in response to the user being outside a safe zone, controlling by a processor, a physical barrier proximate to the user to erect the physical barrier proximate to the user.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
predicting the behavior of the user based on historical information.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether the user is outside the safe zone within the pedestrian path; and
in response to the user being outside the safe zone, controlling the guide by the processor to output an alert.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the alert includes at least one of:
an audio alert;
a visual alert; or
a haptic alert.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the guide includes at least one of:
a physical barrier;
a haptic system;
an audio system; or
a visual display.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the predicted behavior, controlling the guide by the processor to output an alert.
7 . A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
predict a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data, the user travelling on a pedestrian path;
in response to a predicted behavior, control a guide to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user; and
in response to the user being outside a safe zone, control a physical barrier proximate to the user to erect the physical barrier proximate to the user.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
predict the behavior of the user based on historical information.
9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
determine whether the user is outside the safe zone within the pedestrian path; and
in response to the user being outside the safe zone, control the guide to output an alert.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein the alert includes at least one of:
an audio alert;
a visual alert; or
a haptic alert.
11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the guide includes at least one of:
a physical barrier;
a haptic system;
an audio system; or
a visual display.
12 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
in response to the predicted behavior, control the guide to output an alert.
13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
predict a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data, the user travelling on a pedestrian path;
in response to a predicted behavior, control a guide to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user; and
in response to the user being outside a safe zone, control a physical barrier proximate to the user to erect the physical barrier proximate to the user.
14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
predict the behavior of the user based on historical information.
15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
determine whether the user is outside the safe zone within the pedestrian path; and
in response to the user being outside the safe zone, control the guide to output an alert.
16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the alert includes at least one of:
an audio alert;
a visual alert; or
a haptic alert.
17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the guide includes at least one of:
a physical barrier;
a haptic system;
an audio system; or
a visual display.
