Abstract

The number of foreign tourists increases year by year and impact of economy brought with consumption of them is so large that invitation of the foreign tourist has been enthusiastically promoted all over Japan. On the other hand, preparation against the rapid increase of them is not enough. Therefore providing environment which ensure that every foreign visitor can enjoy traveling comfortably is the urgent challenge. In particular, the multilingualization of the guidance notation of the station and the bus stop in a rural city is insufficient, and this becomes one of causes of difficulty of the use of the public transportation system by the foreign tourist. As a solution of this problem, a software which plays a role as a guide from getting on a train/bus to getting off it at an unmanned station and a bus stop in a rural city, assuming use by a foreign tourist whose Japanese ability is insufficient, is proposed in this paper. More specifically, a prototype of software providing necessary information using AR technology and GPS information at an unmanned railroad station and a bus stop was developed and its usefulness was evaluated by real use of an unmanned station and bus service
