The results provide evidence that such a system could be easily utilized, may reduce task load, and could improve navigation performance as 81% of pilgrims who have tested the system agreed. The system which has been presented in this dissertation was designed, implemented and tested all results provided good evidence that would provide considerable help in managing situations with large and heterogeneous crowds such as Hajj season.
