Cognitive Aspects of Route Directions
This contribution provides an overview of elements of cognitively ergonomic route directions. Cognitive ergonomics, in general, seeks to identify characteristics of cognitive information processing and to formalize these characteristics such that they can be used to improve information systems. For route directions, an increasing number of behavioral studies have, for example, pointed to the fo...
متن کاملUrban granularities - a data structure for cognitively ergonomic route directions
This paper addresses the specification of a data structure for route directions that incorporates essential aspects of cognitive information processing. Specifically, we characterize levels of urban granularity and the hierarchical organization of spatial knowledge. We discuss changes of granularity in route directions that result from combining elementary route information to higher-order elem...
متن کاملA Uniform Handling of Different Landmark Types in Route Directions
Landmarks are crucial for human wayfinding. Their integration in wayfinding assistance systems is essential for generating cognitively ergonomic route directions. I present an approach to automatically determining references to different types of landmarks. This approach exploits the circular order of a decision point’s branches. It allows uniformly handling point landmarks as well as linear an...
متن کاملLandmarks in OpenLS - A Data Structure for Cognitive Ergonomic Route Directions
Landmarks support the structuring of environmental information into cognitive conceptual units, they have the potential to identify uniquely pertinent intersections for route following, and they disambiguate spatial situations at complex intersections. Not using them in automatically generated route directions is a violation of cognitive ergonomics. While we have made great progress on the one ...
متن کاملBefore or After: Prepositions in Spatially Constrained Systems
Cognitive agents use different strategies to identify relevant spatial information in communication. The chosen strategy depends on the agents’ conceptualization of the spatial situation at hand. This situation is determined by structural and functional aspects that are induced by the environment and the actions performed or intended therein. In this paper, we are interested in conceptualizatio...
متن کاملCognitive OpenLS Extending XML for location services by a high-level cognitive framework
Web–applications and location based services providing geo–spatial information is increasing more in popularity. Consistently, providing the user with directions describing how to navigate from location A to location B has been one of the most popular services of these applications. The calculation of routes is solved sufficiently for routes in street networks, but how to generate route directi...
