The navigation behavior of pedestrians in street networks can be forecast by computer simulations based on routing models. These models characterize pedestrians' route choices regarding a variety of factors. However, the spatial cognition aspects are often omitted in routing models; thus, the diversity of predictable routes is limited. Here, we present a unified routing model that describes route choices of pedestrians by integrating the spatial cognitive aspects of allocentricbased and egocentric-based navigation. We achieved this by combining graph-based routing methods, each formalizing a single spatial cognitive aspect. In addition, we present a generic calibration method for our model. For validation, we show that our model is able to correctly predict the routing behavior of pedestrians in a case study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
