Abstract
In mobile navigation systems, an appropriate level of detail of the route instructions provided is important for navigation users to understand, memorise, and follow routes. However, few existing indoor navigation systems are capable of providing route instructions with multiple levels of detail. To close this gap, it is critical to model indoor environments with multiple granularities for route instructions to be generated on varying levels of detail. We propose a hierarchical model for route instructions in multi-storey buildings by allowing for representing actions (i.e., turning left or right, and going straight) in conceptualising route instructions. As a proof of concept, a case study is being conducted to present the feasibility of the proposed hierarchical model.
