Most known hiking-time formulas can be classified into either pace-based, requiring the elevation profile as input, or formulas having horizontal distance , cumulative elevation gain and loss as input. In the first part of the paper, we discuss some known formulas, give a list of desirable features of such pace-based functions, discuss advantages and disadvantages of the two approaches and the connection between them. It turns out that only linear functions with input and have uniquely identifiable pace-based function counterparts. Then. we demonstrate how such simple linear functions with input and can be constructed for individuals provided enough hiking data are available, using a case study of four hikers. We also include simple adjustments for the formulas based on the elevation of start and end point of the hike. Although no statistically valid conclusions can be drawn from such a small nonrandom sample, the results still give some insight into practical questions for hikers.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"421 - 432"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45435356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We review 107 publications from the past 25 years that present AR navigation software for real-world environments, and analyze their main characteristics regarding intended environments and users, hardware, development platforms, and AR methodologies. We note a rise in AR navigation research interest from 2010 onward, driven in large part by smartphone and mobile device ubiquity, supported further by significant advances and streamlined processes in AR application development. Furthermore, we highlight a rise in the use of increasingly more complex AR methodologies in recent years, signaling that the field is steadily evolving and maturing. At the same time, we also identify significant inconsistencies and omissions regarding the reporting of technical details, with nearly half of reviewed works not reporting one or more of the aspects of interest. After identifying the level of maturity and complexity in the field AR navigation, we provide a list of recommendations and future directions for researchers aiming to develop AR navigation applications.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"249 - 271"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43768359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Large, complex, and dynamic mobility data present a number of challenges in dashboard design. The overall aim for dashboard design is to improve information communication and decision making, though big mobility data in particular require considering privacy alongside size and complexity. Taking these issues into account, a gap remains between wrangling mobility data and developing meaningful dashboard output. Therefore, there is a need for a framework that bridges this gap to support the mobility dashboard development and design process. In this paper we outline a conceptual framework for mobility data dashboards that provides guidance for the development process while considering mobility data structure, volume, complexity, varied application contexts, and privacy constraints. We illustrate the proposed framework’s components and process using example mobility dashboards with varied inputs, end-users and objectives. Overall, the framework offers a basis for developers to understand how informational displays of big mobility data are determined by end-user needs as well as the types of data selection, transformation, and display available to particular mobility datasets.

The increasing complexity of multi-source and multi-scale road network data challenges the existing methods on accuracy and efficiency. This paper focuses on the interactive-based probabilistic relaxation approach. It is difficult to obtain satisfactory results by using completely automatic matching algorithm in some complicated road networks such as multi-lane carriageways. We try to improve the matching accuracy by combining optimization matching model with manual interaction. The method uses the module of active learning to construct unlabeled sample pool from preliminary matching of probabilistic relaxation, and then selects the arcs with the highest uncertainty by query function. The selected road is then handed over to humans to determine its arc-to-arc relations in the other road network. Finally, the matching parameters are automatically adjusted according to the user’s feedback information, so as to realize the dynamic optimization of the model. Our interaction method is efficient as it only needs to specify few arc-to-arc mappings and others can be amended automatically. Our experimental results reveal that active learning can substantially improve the performance of standard probabilistic relaxation algorithms in road network matching.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"333 - 350"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47928857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Users often utilize the You-Are-Here (YAH) symbol on maps to firstly determine their current location and orientation to find the direction of a target location. Circle symbols often seen only indicate a user’s location, making it difficult to complete the orientation process. Based on alignment effect theory, we modified symbols by adding current orientation information. We conducted a target orientation experiment using eye-tracking technology to examine whether symbol modification positively affected users’ orientating performance in virtual subway station scenes on desktop. The results indicated that participants in the modified symbol group achieved a higher accuracy within a shorter time in orientation tasks. We also found that modified symbols significantly reduced users’ visual reliance on environmental information. Another experiment, in order to further investigate the role of YAH symbols in maps of different complexity, indicated that our modified symbol achieved obvious improvements regardless of map complexity. These findings revealed that the modified symbols indeed improved the convenience of orientation and the overall usability of indoor layout maps.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"214 - 231"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46568557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generating grids for the area of interest is usually the premise and basis for DGGS applications. Owing to incongruent hierarchies that restrict the multi-resolution applications of hexagonal DGGS, current grid generation of hexagonal DGGS for local areas mainly depends on inefficient single-resolution traversal methods by judging the spatial relationship between each cell and the area. This study designs a fast generation algorithm for local parts of hexagonal DGGS based on the hierarchical properties of DGGS. A partition structure at intervals of multiple levels is first designed to ensure the coverage relevance between parent and children cells of different levels. Based on this structure, the algorithm begins with coarser resolution grids and recursively decomposes them into the target resolution, with multiple decomposition patterns used and a unique condition proposed to make the generated grids without gaps or overlaps. Efficient integer coordinate operations are used to generate the vast majority of cells. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves a significant improvement in efficiency. In the aperture 4 hexagonal DGGS, the efficiency ratio of the proposed and traversal algorithms increases from six times in level 14 to approximately 339 times in level 18. This study provides a solid foundation for subsequent data quantization and multi-resolution applications in hexagonal DGGS and has broad prospects.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"178 - 196"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43697117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this reliance can negatively affect spatial learning, which can be detrimental even for expert navigators such as search and rescue personnel. Landmark visualization has been shown to improve spatial learning in general populations by facilitating object identification between the map and the environment. How landmark visualization supports expert users’ spatial learning during map-assisted navigation is still an open research question. We thus conducted a real-world study with wayfinding experts in an unknown residential neighborhood. We aimed to assess how two different landmark visualization styles (abstract 2D vs. realistic 3D buildings) would affect experts’ spatial learning in a map-assisted navigation task during an emergency scenario. Using a between-subjects design, we asked Swiss military personnel to follow a given route using a mobile map, and to identify five task-relevant landmarks along the route. We recorded experts’ gaze behavior while navigating and examined their spatial learning after the navigation task. We found that experts’ spatial learning improved when they focused their visual attention on the environment, but the direction of attention between the map and the environment was not affected by the landmark visualization style. Further, there was no difference in spatial learning between the 2D and 3D groups. Contrary to previous research with general populations, this study suggests that the landmark visualization style does not enhance expert navigators’ navigation or spatial learning abilities, thus highlighting the need for population-specific mobile map design solutions.","PeriodicalId":47562,"journal":{"name":"Cartography and Geographic Information Science","volume":"50 1","pages":"197 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42655632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
