Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Agent-based Simulation, experimental design, Replicability @inproceedings{mazurkiewicz_giannopoulos:LBS.2022,Replication of real-world wayfinding studies is not a trivial task. Even less if it is to be replicated in a different geographic environment. The selection of one or several routes is one of many decisions to be made. Only recently (2021), a reproducible, systematic and score-based approach for route selection for wayfinding experiments was published. Besides allowing for selecting a route within a selected experimental area, it claims to be able to find similar routes in different geographic areas. However, it remains unclear if similar, according to this route selection framework, routes lead to similar study results. In order to answer this question, an agent-based simulation comparing Turn-byTurn and Free Choice Navigation approaches (between-subject design) is run in one European (Vienna) and one African (Djibouti City) city. First, a route in Vienna is selected and, second, the 5 most and the 5 least similar routes in Djibouti City are found. These routes are used in the simulation in order to scrutinize if more similar routes lead to more similar results regarding the arrival rate as a metric. The results suggest that the route selection framework is suitable for replication studies for the Turn-By-Turn navigation approach but needs further improvement for the Free Choice Navigation approach by adding features describing the neighborhood of the route. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Experiments, Navigation, Replicability, Route selection, Wayfinding @workshop{Mazurkiewicz2021,The choice of a route from an origin to a destination depends on several criteria. These criteria can range from route length to environment type. In several situations, we are not only interested in finding a route between two points, but to find a route between all possible origin-destination points in a specific geographic area. This is very common during experimental design, when one is seeking for a generalizable route to evaluate a navigation system. For this case, the selected route should be representative for the area, and not an exception with peculiarities. In this work we demonstrate (1) how to choose an average route for a bike navigation study in Vienna, Austria and (2) how to find similar routes in Florence, Italy and Bremen, Germany in order to replicate the study. The selection is based on route features and associated weights. They can be highly customized according to the needs. We demonstrate our approach and introduce four application scenarios to exemplify the benefits of a systematic route selection. |
