User Preferences on Route Instruction Types for Mobile Indoor Route Guidance

Human and Automated Indoor Route Instruction Following

Humans possess the remarkable ability to give and follow natural language route instructions through largescale spaces. In this process, a director describes the actions and observations along the route, recalling the environment’s topology, metrical layout, and visual features. A follower interprets these descriptions, navigating by applying the instructions to the possibly unfamiliar environm...

Notification agents for mobile route guidance

Ubiquitous and mobile computing has become an important field in computer science. The provision, management and transmission of information within computer systems and for human-computer interaction is required for many applications and the individual needs of the mobile user are manifold. Due to information overflow it is difficult for the user to access specific pieces of information while k...

Intelligent Route Guidance

User-based Vehicle Route Guidance in Urban Networks Based on Intelligent Multi Agents Systems and the ANT-Q Algorithm

Guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. Adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. In this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...

Route guidance: Bridging system and user optimization in traffic assignment

In this paper we study the problem of the assignment of road paths to vehicles. Due to the assumption that a low percentage of vehicles follow the routes proposed by route guidance systems (RGS) and the increase of the use of the same, the conventional RGSs might shortly result obsolete. Assuming a complete road network information at the disposal of RGSs, their proposed paths are related with ...
