Abstract
Public transport networks (PTNs) are difficult to use
when the user is unfamiliar with the area she is traveling to, as
shown by a user survey that we present in this paper. This is true
for both infrequent users (including visitors) and regular users
who need to travel to areas with which they are not acquainted.
In these situations, adequate on-trip navigation information can
substantially ease the use of public transportation and be the
driving factor in motivating travelers to prefer it over other
modes of transportation. However, estimating the localization of
a user is not trivial, although it is critical for providing relevant
information. In this paper, we propose the use of an electronic
ticketing infrastructure of a PTN operator for positioning within
the context of the PTN to give on-trip personalized navigation cues.
To our knowledge, this is an innovative contribution that has not
been described or deployed, to date, elsewhere.We assess relevant
design issues for a modular cost-efficient user-friendly on-trip
navigation service that uses position sensors and present the details
of a proof-of-concept prototype running in our laboratory.We also
present and analyze the results of a user survey on the usefulness
of the service and its acceptance by users.
