Featured White Paper
Title Region Based Pedestrian Navigation
Author Markus Wuersch, D Caduff
Company Intelligent Spatial Technologies, Inc.
Synopsis
An approach that allows deriving route instructions for pedestrians not only based on a network-like structure, but also on a region-based definition of a route has been presented in this paper. This approach significantly increases applicability, usability, and reliability of PNSs, as the generation of instructions is no longer tied to a network, but is adapted to the pedestrian’s real environment and, therefore, frees way finders from route instructions that are too persistent.
