Navigation is dependent on the user preferences and requirements for car drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and passengers in buses and trams. All of them can have different preferences. Elderly people often can’t walk very far. Mobility-impaired users in a wheelchair or with a walking frame can’t climb stairs. Blind people with a guide dog can’t use an escalator. Furthermore indoor navigation in big buildings like an airport and train station has to be considered. The video explains also how an evaluation can be based on mental maps.
