The project '''eNav – A navigation system for electric wheelchairs''' uses several distinct methods and ideas concerning embedded systems to better measure as well as utilize the battery capacity of [[Motorized wheelchair|electric wheelchairs]]. Furthermore, barriers are detected, which can then be avoided. The hallmark of the navigation system is the calculation of an energy efficient route, which is conducted additionally to the calculation of the shortest route. The user has the option to choose between both. eNav can be accessed as a [[route planner]] using a web browser. In the near future,{{When|date=JuneMay 20169}} a free navigation app should be available in the [[Google Play|Google Play Store]].

eNav is a project at the [[RWTH Aachen]], which has been launched by the [[informatics]] chair I11 to increase the life quality of people with an impairment.
