The route planning algorithms implemented in these systems are usually limited to shortest path calculations or derivatives, minimalizing Euclidian distance. Guiding people along routes that adhere better to their cognitive processes could ease wayfinding in indoor environments. This paper examines comfort and confusion perception during wayfinding by applying a mixed-method approach. The aforementioned method combined an exploratory focus group and a video-based online survey. From the discussions in the focus group, it could be concluded that indoor wayfinding must be considered at different levels: the local level and the global level. In the online survey, the focus was limited to the local level, i.e., local environmental characteristics. In this online study, the comfort and confusion ratings of multiple indoor navigation situations were analyzed. In general, the results indicate that open spaces and stairs need to be taken into account in the development of a more cognitively-sounding route planning algorithm. Implementing the results in a route planning algorithm could be a valuable improvement of indoor navigation support.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi9020132","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,25]],"date-time":"2020-02-25T04:21:26Z","timestamp":1582604486000},"page":"132","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["On the Right Track: Comfort and Confusion in Indoor Environments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9939-0250","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nina","family":"Vanhaeren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 (S8), 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6511-6974","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laure","family":"De Cock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 (S8), 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lieselot","family":"Lapon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 (S8), 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5327-4000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nico","family":"Van de Weghe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 (S8), 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4921-7553","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristien","family":"Ooms","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 (S8), 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8902-3855","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Philippe","family":"De Maeyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, Ghent University, Krijgslaan 281 (S8), 9000 Ghent, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ahmetovic, D., Gleason, C., Ruan, C., Kitani, K., Takagi, H., and Asakawa, C.
