Cognitive Maps and Urban Travel
نویسنده
چکیده
The focus of this chapter is an examination of the relationship between cognitive maps and travel behavior in urban environments. We do this examination incrementally, beginning with clarifications of terms relating to cognitive maps, cognitive mapping and wayfinding. We then emphasize transportation-related issues such as cognizing of transportation networks, path selection, wayfinding and navigation. We further examine problems of selecting paths to destinations by using existing transport networks. We also introduce concerns relating to the role of trip purpose in path selection and discuss how different purposes spawn different path or route selection strategies. In a final section we briefly examine the interaction between cognitive maps, cognitive mapping, and current practice of travel choice modeling.
