Following detailed navigation instructions, drivers are no longer required to learn about and understand their environment, which leaves drivers reliant on these navigation devices. An experiment using a virtual environment was conducted to evaluate if a group with additional regional instructions would complete tasks more effectively than a group with traditional instructions. While the regional group performed better on all accounts, statistically significant results were only found in three of ten variables. There were however, large differences in task completion rates, suggesting that incorporating pre-defined regions to navigation instructions does make a difference in drivers’ understanding of their environment.Krukar, JakubSchwering, AngelaRamos Romero, José FranciscoRUNThorn, Caitlin Lara2018-04-03T17:37:00Z2018-02-022018-02-02T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/33715TID:201893150enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-05-22T17:31:41Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/33715Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:02:58.869682Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
