Abstract

Still most commercial navigation tools used by pedestrians fail to encompass a comprehensive organization and prioritization of safety-related route qualities and accordant information in the user interface. To support pedestrian route choices to minimize potential dangers, we study in this paper user requirements for an enhanced pedestrian Navigation system that considers safety related route quality parameters. Besides effectiveness, related factors of distance and time, safety was highly prioritized to become an explicit requirement for the conceptual design. The acquired data from an online survey provides the basis for pedestrian´s classifications and requirements regarding user friendly interfaces for mobile Routing and navigation that enhance road safety.
