ABSTRACT
Navigation services (e.g., in-car navigation systems and online mapping sites) compute routes between two locations to help users navigate. However, these routes may direct users along an unfamiliar path when a familiar path exists, or, conversely, may include redundant information that the user already knows. These overly complicated directions increase the cognitive load of the user, which may lead to a dangerous driving environment. Since the level of detail is user specific and depends on their familiarity with a region, routes need to be personalized. We have developed a system, called MyRoute, that reduces route complexity by creating user specific routes based on a priori knowledge of familiar routes and landmarks. MyRoute works by compressing well known steps into a single contextualized step and rerouting users along familiar routes.

Exploring Factors that Influence Connected Drivers to (Not) Use or Follow Recommended Optimal Routes
CHI '19: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsNavigation applications are becoming ubiquitous in our daily navigation experiences. With the intention to circumnavigate congested roads, their route guidance always follows the basic assumption that drivers always want the fastest route. However, it ...
A Clustering Approach for Personalizing Diversity in Collaborative Recommender Systems
UMAP '17: Proceedings of the 25th Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation and PersonalizationMuch of the focus of recommender systems research has been on the accurate prediction of users' ratings for unseen items. Recent work has suggested that objectives such as diversity and novelty in recommendations are also important factors in the ...
Preview of recommended routes in large-scale virtual environments
VRCIA '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM international conference on Virtual reality continuum and its applicationsIn large-scale virtual environments (VEs), there is often more than one possible route to a destination, and each of the VE users may have their own route preferences. In this paper, we introduce a route preview tool to help users select a desirable ...
