Dynamic Navigation Field — a local and on-demand family of algorithms for wayfinding

  • Conference paper

Abstract

Simulation of pedestrian navigation in dynamic and complex real environments is a critic and hard problem. In this paper we will introduce a family of case-based reasoning algorithms for wayfinding called Dynamic Navigation Field or DNF that transforms global information into local knowledge according to the requirements of the surrounding environment. In DNF the case memory is composed by a set of navigation fields generated locally and on-demand with efficient storing and retrieval performance.
