Resumo(s)
This thesis proposes introducing pre-defined regionalised areas into navigation
instructions to allow drivers to learn more about the environment they’re travelling
through. Following detailed navigation instructions, drivers are no longer required
to learn about and understand their environment, which leaves drivers reliant on
these navigation devices. An experiment using a virtual environment was
conducted to evaluate if a group with additional regional instructions would
complete tasks more effectively than a group with traditional instructions. While
the regional group performed better on all accounts, statistically significant results
were only found in three of ten variables. There were however, large differences in
task completion rates, suggesting that incorporating pre-defined regions to
navigation instructions does make a difference in drivers’ understanding of their
environment.
