Smart Environments and LBS to support pedestrian navigation
نویسنده
چکیده
Within the last few years navigation systems have started to conquer the market in the Western World. Especially in outdoor environments location based services play an important role for supporting the wayfinding process. Car drivers have started to trust in the information provided by car navigation systems and even pedestrians are gaining interest in reliable guiding instructions. Nevertheless, this kind of giving directions is not very popular until today. Various reasons are responsible for this scarce usage: e.g. localization accuracy is insufficient for pedestrian’s needs in many cases and route suggestions usually rely on road networks and do not meet the demands of walking people, as pedestrians have more degrees of freedom in movement compared to car drivers (Corona & Winter 2001).

Considering Affective Responses towards Environments for Enhancing Location Based Services
A number of studies in the field of environmental psychology show that humans perceive and evaluate their surroundings affectively. Some places are experienced as unsafe, while some others as attractive and interesting. Experiences from daily life show that many of our daily behaviours and decision-making are often influenced by this kind of affective responses towards environments. Location ba...
