Opportunities for Leveraging Context in Pedestrian Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pedestrian navigation systems (PNS) need to incorporate contextual information to achieve a benefit for the user. However, most PNS do not incorporate this information. To study context in PNS we created the PNS ROSE. First we present the pedestrian navigation system ROSE which recommends context-aware events, context-aware routes and allows point-to-point navigation by means of mixed mode transportation. Secondly we discuss a field study of using ROSE in the city of Munich and derive implications for incorporation of context in PNS and describe our current research for adding support for more contextual factors.

Spatial Knowledge Acquisition in the Context of GPS-based Pedestrian Navigation
GPS-based pedestrian navigation systems have become more and more popular in recent years. This paper reports a work in progress on investigating the differences of spatial knowledge acquisition with different interface technologies in the context of GPS-based pedestrian navigation. The acquisition of spatial knowledge based on mobile map, augmented reality, and voice is analysed and compared i...
متن کاملA Natural Language Instructor for pedestrian navigation based in generation by selection
In this paper we describe a method for developing a virtual instructor for pedestrian navigation based on real interactions between a human instructor and a human pedestrian. A virtual instructor is an agent capable of fulfilling the role of a human instructor, and its goal is to assist a pedestrian in the accomplishment of different tasks within the context of a real city. The instructor decid...
متن کاملPeople go out together: a neglected context factor in pedestrian assistance systems
Pedestrian navigation systems (PNS) are currently not as frequently used as navigation systems for cars. We think, this is due to the PNS’s lack of considered context factors. In this paper we argue that actually the social contacts of the users are an important context factor for PNSs. Our argumentation is based on the results of two studies which we have conducted concerning outgoing behavior...
متن کاملSimulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models
Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...
متن کاملBehaviour Monitoring and Interpretation : The Example of a Pedestrian Navigation System
This chapter describes the field of Behaviour Monitoring and Interpretation, BMI for short, which defines a framework for the analysis and design of systems for the monitoring and interpretation of human behaviour. As an example scenario which is analysed by means of that framework, a pedestrian navigation and service tool is presented. This scenario is about a mobile user who is wearing a hear...
