Abstract In case of the railway station where several routes are passing by, it is difficult to find a path wanted by user since it is very complex. Especially in case of the mobility handicapped and for these complex railway stations, it is difficult for them to find a platform, toilet, elevator or any station facilities where they want to go, and it is even more difficult to find an available path including elevator, etc. to reach a platform where they want to go than the general public does. Therefore, it is our actual status that the satisfaction of using railway stations by the mobility handicapped is very low in comparison with that of the general public. Accordingly, this paper proposes the supporting system for the mobility convenience service and its design to provide a system that can guide optimal paths within the railway station through which these mobility handicapped can use railway stations easily and the escort service for the mobility handicapped.
