Abstract
Route planning algorithms in indoor navigation systems are currently limited to shortest path algorithms or derivatives. The development of a cognitive route planning algorithm, providing cognitive more comfortable paths to navigators, could improve these systems. The first phase of the development of such an algorithm entails the identification of relevant path characteristics of the indoor environment. Therefore, a user study is enrolled: an in-depth discussion with a focus group of experts is followed by an international online survey.
