• Title: Pedestrian wayfinding behavior in a multi-story building: a comprehensive modeling study featuring route choice, wayfinding performance, and observation behavior
• Authors: Yan Feng, Dorine C. Duives
• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a comprehensive approach for modeling pedestrian wayfinding behavior in complex buildings. Four wayfinding tasks were designed to determine how personal, infrastructure, and route characteristics affect indoor pedestrian wayfinding behavior. We find that pedestrian route choice behavior is primarily influenced by route characteristics, whereas wayfinding performance is also influenced by personal characteristics.

• Abstract: This paper proposes a comprehensive approach for modeling pedestrian wayfinding behavior in complex buildings. This study employs two types of discrete choice models (i.e., MNL and PSL) featuring pedestrian route choice behavior, and three multivariate linear regression (MLR) models featuring the overall wayfinding performance and observation behavior (e.g., hesitation behavior and head rotation). Behavioral and questionnaire data featuring pedestrian wayfinding behavior and personal information were collected using a Virtual Reality experiment. Four wayfinding tasks were designed to determine how personal, infrastructure, and route characteristics affect indoor pedestrian wayfinding behavior on three levels, including route choice, wayfinding performance, and observation behavior. We find that pedestrian route choice behavior is primarily influenced by route characteristics, whereas wayfinding performance is also influenced by personal characteristics. Observation behavior is mainly influenced by task complexity, personal characteristics, and local properties of the routes that offer route information. To the best of our knowledge, this work represents the first attempt to investigate the impact of the same comprehensive set of variables on various metrics feature wayfinding behavior simultaneously.

  This paper presents a data-driven approach for understanding and predicting the pedestrian decision point choice during normal and emergency wayfinding in a multi-story building. We first built an indoor network representation and proposed a data mapping technique to map VR coordinates to the indoor representation. We then used a well-established machine learning algorithm, namely the random forest (RF) model to predict pedestrian decision point choice along a route during four wayfinding tasks in a multi-story building.

  We propose to match the user's current behavior path with historical behavior paths to predict user behaviors on the app. We design a deep neural network for behavior path matching and solve three difficulties in modeling behavior paths: sparsity, noise interference, and accurate matching of behavior paths. Our model shows excellent performance on two real-world datasets, outperforming the state-of-the-art CTR model.

  Multi-types of behaviors (e.g., clicking, adding to cart, purchasing, etc.) widely exist in most real-world recommendation scenarios. The state-of-the-art multi-behavior models learn behavior dependencies indistinguishably with all historical interactions as input. We propose a novel Coarse-to-fine Knowledge-enhanced Multi-interest Learning framework to learn shared and behavior-specific interests for different behaviors.

We show that our model, Active Dynamical Prospection, demonstrates similar patterns of map solution rate, path selection, and trial duration, as well as attentional behavior when compared with data from human participants.
