4. Conclusion
This research tries to consider the vertical dimension in
designing a route guiding service for visitors on foot. The
context of vertical dimension is examined in terms of
characteristics of physical features, type of audience, and type
of information of interests. There remain questions on how to
integrate more effectively spatial and attribute data with
vertical/height information, how to model the data construct in
a network analysis system, and how to maintain various
components of an operational system. The function of a
navigation service is not only to show the spatial layout of a
physical environment but also to provide a migration from
directional aids to knowledge entrance about a space of
unfamiliar setting.
Route guiding may evolve further through advancements in
data acquisition, processing, and presentation methods.
However, the spatial settings, human issues in the environment,
activities correlated with space, the association with time, and
even the interrelationships among them will likely remain
consistent. It is important to analyze these basic factors for a
better theoretical construct whose performance would
ultimately benefit from better technologies.
