Wu, Gao, Lin and Chang – EVALUATING IMPACTS OF BUS ROUTE MAP DESIGN AND DYNAMIC REAL-TIME INFORMATION PRESENTATION ON BUS ROUTE MAP SEARCH EFFICIENCY AND COGNITIVE LOAD 2022

Description

This insightful 15-page academic article, recently published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information (June 2022), features research from a collaborative team at Tatung University and Ningbo University of Technology. It rigorously evaluates the impact of different bus route map designs (map-based vs. linear) and dynamic real-time information displays on user search efficiency and cognitive load. Based on an empirical study with 32 participants, using quantitative measures like search time and the NASA-TLX scale, the paper provides statistically robust findings. The document is well-supported with numerous illustrative figures, including experimental stimuli, process flows, and clear data visualizations. As an open-access publication under a CC BY license, this funded research offers significant, trustworthy insights for optimizing public transportation information design, making it a valuable resource for urban planners, designers, and researchers in GIS and human-computer interaction.
