Do You Need Instructions Again? Predicting Wayfinding Instruction Demand

Authors: Negar Alinaghi, Tiffany C. K. Kwok, Peter Kiefer, and Ioannis Giannopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)


Abstract
The demand for instructions during wayfinding, defined as the frequency of requesting instructions for each decision point, can be considered as an important indicator of the internal cognitive processes during wayfinding. This demand can be a consequence of the mental state of feeling lost, being uncertain, mind wandering, having difficulty following the route, etc. Therefore, it can be of great importance for theoretical cognitive studies on human perception of the environment. From an application perspective, this demand can be used as a measure of the effectiveness of the navigation assistance system. It is therefore worthwhile to be able to predict this demand and also to know what factors trigger it. This paper takes a step in this direction by reporting a successful prediction of instruction demand (accuracy of 78.4%) in a real-world wayfinding experiment with 45 participants, and interpreting the environmental, user, instructional, and gaze-related features that caused it.

I Can Tell by Your Eyes! Continuous Gaze-Based Turn-Activity Prediction Reveals Spatial Familiarity

Authors: Negar Alinaghi, Markus Kattenbeck, and Ioannis Giannopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 240, 15th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2022)


Abstract
Spatial familiarity plays an essential role in the wayfinding decision-making process. Recent findings in wayfinding activity recognition domain suggest that wayfinders' turning behavior at junctions is strongly influenced by their spatial familiarity. By continuously monitoring wayfinders' turning behavior as reflected in their eye movements during the decision-making period (i.e., immediately after an instruction is received until reaching the corresponding junction for which the instruction was given), we provide evidence that familiar and unfamiliar wayfinders can be distinguished. By applying a pre-trained XGBoost turning activity classifier on gaze data collected in a real-world wayfinding task with 33 participants, our results suggest that familiar and unfamiliar wayfinders show different onset and intensity of turning behavior. These variations are not only present between the two classes -familiar vs. unfamiliar- but also within each class. The differences in turning-behavior within each class may stem from multiple sources, including different levels of familiarity with the environment.

Rethinking Route Choices! On the Importance of Route Selection in Wayfinding Experiments

Authors: Bartosz Mazurkiewicz, Markus Kattenbeck, and Ioannis Giannopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 240, 15th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2022)


Abstract
Route selection for a wayfinding experiment is not a trivial task and is often made in an undocumented way. Only recently (2021), a systematic, reproducible and score-based approach for route selection for wayfinding experiments was published. However, it is still unclear how robust study results are across all potential routes in a particular experimental area. An important share of routes might lead to different conclusions than most routes. This share would distort and/or invert the study outcome. If so, the question of selecting routes that are unlikely to distort the results of our wayfinding experiments remains unanswered. In order to answer these questions, an agent-based simulation study with four different sample sizes (N = 15, 25, 50, 3000 agents) comparing Turn-by-Turn and Free Choice Navigation approaches (between-subject design) regarding their arrival rates on more than 11000 routes in the city center of Vienna, Austria, was run. The results of our study indicate that with decreasing sample size, there is an increase in the share of routes which lead to contradictory results regarding the arrival rate, i.e., the results become less robust. Therefore, based on simulation results, we present an approach for selecting suitable routes even for small-scale in-situ studies.

Will You Take This Turn? Gaze-Based Turning Activity Recognition During Navigation

Authors: Negar Alinaghi, Markus Kattenbeck, Antonia Golab, and Ioannis Giannopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 208, 11th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2021) - Part II


Abstract
Decision making is an integral part of wayfinding and people progressively use navigation systems to facilitate this task. The primary decision, which is also the main source of navigation error, is about the turning activity, i.e., to decide either to turn left or right or continue straight forward. The fundamental step to deal with this error, before applying any preventive approaches, e.g., providing more information, or any compensatory solutions, e.g., pre-calculating alternative routes, could be to predict and recognize the potential turning activity. This paper aims to address this step by predicting the turning decision of pedestrian wayfinders, before the actual action takes place, using primarily gaze-based features. Applying Machine Learning methods, the results of the presented experiment demonstrate an overall accuracy of 91% within three seconds before arriving at a decision point. Beyond the application perspective, our findings also shed light on the cognitive processes of decision making as reflected by the wayfinder’s gaze behaviour: incorporating environmental and user-related factors to the model, results in a noticeable change with respect to the importance of visual search features in turn activity recognition.

Navigating Your Way! Increasing the Freedom of Choice During Wayfinding

Authors: Bartosz Mazurkiewicz, Markus Kattenbeck, and Ioannis Giannopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 208, 11th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2021) - Part II


Abstract
Using navigation assistance systems has become widespread and scholars have tried to mitigate potentially adverse effects on spatial cognition these systems may have due to the division of attention they require. In order to nudge the user to engage more with the environment, we propose a novel navigation paradigm called Free Choice Navigation balancing the number of free choices, route length and number of instructions given. We test the viability of this approach by means of an agent-based simulation for three different cities. Environmental spatial abilities and spatial confidence are the two most important modeled features of our agents. Our results are very promising: Agents could decide freely at more than 50% of all junctions. More than 90% of the agents reached their destination within an average distance of about 125% shortest path length.

Not Arbitrary, Systematic! Average-Based Route Selection for Navigation Experiments

Authors: Bartosz Mazurkiewicz, Markus Kattenbeck, Peter Kiefer, and Ioannis Giannopoulos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 177, 11th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2021) - Part I (2020)


Abstract
While studies on human wayfinding have seen increasing interest, the criteria for the choice of the routes used in these studies have usually not received particular attention. This paper presents a methodological framework which aims at filling this gap. Based on a thorough literature review on route choice criteria, we present an approach that supports wayfinding researchers in finding a route whose characteristics are as similar as possible to the population of all considered routes with a predefined length in a particular area. We provide evidence for the viability of our approach by means of both, synthetic and real-world data. The proposed method allows wayfinding researchers to justify their route choice decisions, and it enhances replicability of studies on human wayfinding. Furthermore, it allows to find similar routes in different geographical areas.

Human Vision at a Glance (Invited Talk)

Authors: Ruth Rosenholtz and Dian Yu

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 142, 14th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2019)


Abstract
Recent advances in human vision research have pointed toward a theory that unifies many aspects of vision relevant to information visualization. According to this theory, loss of information in peripheral vision determines performance on many visual tasks. This theory subsumes old concepts such as visual saliency, selective attention, and change blindness. It predicts the rich details we have access to at a glance. Furthermore, it provides insight into tasks not commonly studied in human vision, such as ability to comprehend connections in a network diagram, or to compare information in one part of a display with that in another.

Smartphone Usability for Emergency Evacuation Applications (Short Paper)

Authors: David Amores, Maria Vasardani, and Egemen Tanin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 142, 14th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2019)


Abstract
Mobile phone ubiquity has allowed the implementation of a number of emergency-related evacuation aids. Yet, these applications still face a number of challenges in human-mobile interaction, namely: (1) lack of widely accepted mobile usability guidelines, (2) people’s limited cognitive capacity when using mobile phones under stress, and (3) difficulty recreating emergency scenarios as experiments for usability testing. This study is intended as an initial view into smartphone usability under emergency evacuations by compiling a list of experimental observations and setting the ground for future research in cognitively-informed spatial algorithms and app design.

Functional Scales in Assisted Wayfinding (Short Paper)

Authors: Heinrich Löwen, Jakub Krukar, and Angela Schwering

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 142, 14th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2019)


Abstract
GPS-based navigation systems are widely used to get wayfinding assistance. Current navigation systems incorporate different map scales for presenting wayfinding instructions, however, the selection of scale is not supported by psychological findings. Different tasks of the users such as the identification of the next decision point or the orientation within the environment might be supported best at particular scales. We propose a new conceptual distinction of functional scales with respect to their role in supporting wayfinding and orientation. We suggest that these functional scales can have a benefit for supporting wayfinding and orientation if used for providing wayfinding instructions. This we aim to empirically evaluate in future work.

The RGC4 (Urban resilience and Crisis Management in a Context of Slow Flood to Slow Kinetics) project aims to develop tools to help manage critical technical networks as part of the management process of crisis in a context of slow kinetic flooding in Paris. This project focuses on cascading models to identify a number of inter-dependencies between networks and to define tools capable of coordinating the actions of managers before and during the crisis. This paper revisits the conceptual and methodological bases of networks approach to study the inter-dependencies between networks. Research that studies the return to service of infrastructure networks often angle it from the perspective of operational research. The article proposes a graph theory perspective based on a multi-layer network approach and shows how to characterize the inter-dependencies between networks at three process levels (macro, meso, micro)

Short Paper
Route Choice Through Regions by Pedestrian Agents (Short Paper)

Authors: Gabriele Filomena, Ed Manley, and Judith A. Verstegen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 142, 14th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2019)


Abstract
Simulation models for pedestrian movement are valuable tools to support decision-making processes in urban design. However, existing models of pedestrian behaviour are built on simplistic assumptions regarding people’s representation of the urban space and spatial behaviour. In this work, a route-choice algorithm that takes into account regionalisation processes and the hierarchical organisation of geographical elements is adapted for pedestrian movement and incorporated into an agent-based model. The macro-level patterns emerging from two scenarios, one employing an angular-change minimisation algorithm and the other employing the regional algorithm here proposed, are compared for a case study in London, UK. Our routing algorithm led agents to recur to a higher number of street segments, i.e. routes were more diverse among agents. Though validation has not yet been performed, we deem the patterns resulting from the regional algorithm more plausible.

Vision Paper
Modeling and Representing Real-World Spatio-Temporal Data in Databases (Vision Paper)

Authors: José Moreira, José Duarte, and Paulo Dias

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 142, 14th International Conference on Spatial Information Theory (COSIT 2019)


Abstract
Research in general-purpose spatio-temporal databases has focused mainly on the development of data models and query languages. However, since spatio-temporal data are captured as snapshots, an important research question is how to compute and represent the spatial evolution of the data between observations in databases. Current methods impose constraints to ensure data integrity, but, in some cases, these constraints do not allow the methods to obtain a natural representation of the evolution of spatio-temporal phenomena over time. This paper discusses a different approach where morphing techniques are used to represent the evolution of spatio-temporal data in databases. First, the methods proposed in the spatio-temporal databases literature are presented and their main limitations are discussed with the help of illustrative examples. Then, the paper discusses the use of morphing techniques to handle spatio-temporal data, and the requirements and the challenges that must be investigated to allow the use of these techniques in databases. Finally, a set of examples is presented to compare the approaches investigated in this work. The need for benchmarking methodologies for spatio-temporal databases is also highlighted.
