Pedestrian navigation aids: information requirements and design implications
TL;DR: Results show that landmarks were by far the most predominant navigation cue, that distance information and street names were infrequently used, and that information is used to enable navigation decisions, but also to enhance the pedestrian’s confidence and trust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the human-machine interface to vehicle navigation systems as an example of ubiquitous computing
Tracy Ross,Gary Burnett +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents an overview of evaluation methods used to date (in terms of context of use, techniques, measures and evaluators) and the pros and cons of the different approaches and a discussion of how the resulting knowledge can assist in the evaluation of other ubiquitous technologies.
Book ChapterDOI
The Use of Landmarks in Pedestrian Navigation Instructions and the Effects of Context
TL;DR: The study found that the effects of adding landmark information to basic pedestrian navigation instructions (i.e. those which included distance to turn and street name only) replicate that for vehicle navigation systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Empirical investigation of the impact of using co-design methods when generating proposals for sustainable travel solutions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an empirical comparison of idea generation within the context of reducing the number of single occupancy car journeys to and from a UK university campus, and find that the co-design group generated a significantly higher number of innovative ideas than the consultative group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Switch the channel: using cultural codes for designing and positioning sustainable products and services for mainstream audiences
TL;DR: In this article, an initial methodological framework for the incorporation of socio-cultural analysis methods in the design process of sustainable innovations is proposed, which can enhance their wider appeal, especially by positioning them as aspirational choices that contribute to the well-being and happiness of potential users.
