| Abstract: | 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 directions that are understandable and easily to follow, i.e. that are cognitive ergonomic, is still an open question. The aim of this thesis is to contribute in answering this question. It closes the gap between collecting the required information and the actual generation of cognitive ergonomic route directions. Therefore, a data model is developed for encoding the information necessary in order to generate route directions which regard aspects of cognitive ergonomics: making direction concepts more precise, using landmarks and chunking route parts. Furthermore, the data model is integrated into the OpenLS specification --- an open standard for location based services. This allows a path for an easy implementation and helps to integrate aspects of cognitive ergonomic route directions in future applications. |
