A User Study of Experimental Maps for Outdoor Activities
This article presents results from a user study on experimental maps created for outdoor activities and demonstrates methods suitable for analyzing the map survey data. The first goal of the study was to find out to what degree the experimental maps created for the study satisfy the needs of map users in general. The second was a detailed exploration of opinions on the different map types to look for trends related to age, frequency of map use, o…
An Information Model for Pedestrian Routing and Navigation Databases Supporting Universal Accessibility
This study focuses on the information content of the geospatial databases used to guide pedestrians as well as those with disabilities. In this paper we introduce an information model for describing this content. The model covers the physical environment faced by a person moving on foot. We have used the Unified Modeling Language class diagrams to formalize the information model on a conceptual level. The features are divided into two abstract to…
Improving Accessibility Information in Pedestrian Maps and Databases
As populations age, more and more people have some kind of restrictions on their mobility. In order to increase the potential of mobility-impaired persons to move around and navigate independently, information on the accessibility of the environment should be supported by map services and delivered together with spatial information to their devices for personal navigation. Spatial databases for pedestrian route planning should contain more detail…
