Abstract

Linking perception to decision point complexity for adaptive indoor wayfinding support

Highlights

  • This adaptation can be implemented in several components of a wayfinding system

  • Several methodologies are developed to this end and some of them have been proven to correlate well with wayfinding strategies of navigators, such as isovists and the space syntax theory

  • An isovist is the area in space which can be seen from a certain viewpoint. This isovist area can be drawn on a floorplan of a building, resulting in a polygon with several geometric properties that can be used to quantify the complexity in a certain point of a building

Summary

Introduction

This adaptation can be implemented in several components of a wayfinding system (e.g. the route planning by generating the least turn path instead of the shortest path). In complex buildings, wayfinding can be challenging and induce a rise in cognitive load. Indoor wayfinding aids have to be adapted to both the architecture of the building and the requirements of the users. First of all, the complexity of a building has to be quantified.
