Generation of landmark-based navigation instructions from open-source data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for the real-time generation of car navigation instructions with landmarks. Our system relies exclusively on freely available map data from OpenStreetMap, organizes its output to fit into the available time until the next driving maneuver, and reacts in real time to driving errors. We show that female users spend significantly less time looking away from the road when using our system compared to a baseline system.

Automatic Generation of Landmark - based Indoor Routing
This paper addresses the question of how route instructions that include landmarks for indoor navigation can be created automatically based on information available in spatial indoor databases. Existing approaches for the generation of landmark-based routing instructions are designed for outdoor environments and rely mainly on instance-level data about the characteristics of potential landmarks...
متن کامل"Turn Left after the WC, and Use the Lift to Go to the 2nd Floor" - Generation of Landmark-Based Route Instructions for Indoor Navigation
People in unfamiliar environments often need navigation guidance to reach a destination. Research has found that compared to outdoors, people tend to lose orientation much more easily within complex buildings, such as university buildings and hospitals. This paper proposes a category-based method to generate landmark-based route instructions to support people’s wayfinding activities in unfamili...
متن کاملA GIS data model for landmark-based pedestrian navigation
Landmarks provide the most predominant navigation cue for pedestrian navigation. Very few navigation data models in the geographical information science and transportation communities support modeling of landmarks and use of landmark-based route instructions for pedestrian navigation services. This article proposes a landmark-based pedestrian navigation data model to fill this gap. This data mo...
متن کاملTowards a Landmark-Based Pedestrian Navigation Service Using OSM Data
With the advent of location-aware smartphones, the desire for pedestrian-based navigation services has increased. Unlike car-based services where instructions generally are comprised of distance and road names, pedestrian instructions should instead focus on the delivery of landmarks to aid in navigation. OpenStreetMap (OSM) contains a vast amount of geospatial information that can be tapped in...
متن کاملThe Landmark Spider: Representing Landmark Knowledge for Wayfinding Tasks
Mobile navigation systems are important assets for travelers visiting foreign environments, as they provide instructions on how to find the way to get to a chosen destination. Research has shown that finding ones way in a foreign environment is primarily based on cues in the environment. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that generates the clearest route in terms of spatial references and ...
