Analysis of route choice based on path characteristics using Geolife GPS trajectories
ABSTRACT Navigation services are essential for daily navigation, providing turn-by-turn instructions to help wayfinders reach their destinations. These services often differ from the heuristics wayfinders use, resulting in a poor user experience. Researchers have attempted to address this issue by developing algorithms that find less complex routes, by integrating prominent locations along the route to make wayfinding easier and to improve a wayfinder’s knowledge about the environment. These approaches, however, have taken a bottom-up approach, involving a limited number of participants navigating in real or virtual environments which may limit generalisability of results. In this study, we took a top-down approach by analysing a large dataset of GPS-based trips in the real world. Using the Geolife dataset, we analysed individual heuristics for route selection in terms of complexity and prominent locations, and found that wayfinders prefer less complex routes, such as routes that require fewer turns or involve simpler intersections. Additionally, we found that wayfinders choose routes with fewer prominent locations, such as routes that bypass well-known landmarks or busy commercial areas. These findings suggest that simplicity and ease of use are prioritized when selecting a route, while overly complex routes or areas with many points of interest are avoided.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this interdisciplinary and international journal is to provide a forum for the exchange of original ideas, techniques, designs and experiences in the rapidly growing field of location based services on networked mobile devices. It is intended to interest those who design, implement and deliver location based services in a wide range of contexts. Published research will span the field from location based computing and next-generation interfaces through telecom location architectures to business models and the social implications of this technology. The diversity of content echoes the extended nature of the chain of players required to make location based services a reality.
