We present a system to evaluate and improve visual guidance systems and signage for pedestrians inside large buildings. Given a 3D model of an actual building we perform agent-based simulations mimicking the decision making process and navigation patterns of pedestrians trying to find their way to predefined locations. Our main contribution is to enable agents to base their decisions on realistic threedimensional visibility and occlusion cues computed from the actual building geometry with added semantic annotations (e.g. meaning of signs, or purpose of inventory), as well as an interactive visualization of simulated movement trajectories and accompanying visibility data tied to the underlying 3D model. This enables users of the system to quickly pinpoint and solve problems within the simulation by watching, exploring and understanding emergent behavior inside the building. This insight gained from introspection can in turn inform planning and thus improve the effectiveness of guidance systems.

Mobility and orientation behaviour research often requires the monitoring of pedestrian spatio-temporal behaviour. A number of different empirical methods have been developed to investigate specific aspects of pedestrian behaviour. However, each method has certain drawbacks, which aggravate the collection and analysis of relevant data. This chapter describes a new method which combines the advantages of simple observation and technological data collection. Pedestrian trajectories are collected by observing and annotating spatio-temporal tracks using a semi-automated shadowing tool. In this chapter, the authors describe the background and related work in pedestrian spatio-temporal behaviour research as well as most commonly applied methods and their respective advantages and drawbacks. The authors then present a shadowing approach with specific characteristics and implementation. Additionally, three case studies are described to illustrate potential fields of application. Finally, ongoing efforts to enhance the method through the use of additional sensors and features, as well as potential future developments, are described.
