Abstract
People often go out with other people, meet friends and prefer covering distances together. 70% of all pedestrians travel in a group according to Moussaïd et al. However, most pedestrian navigation systems are intended for single users only. For closing this gap we built a meeting assistance system for groups of users who want to meet. This paper will present the challenges of building such a system, just as solutions for making appointments, calculating appropriate meeting points and routes using Steiner Trees.
