Abstract

In this research, we addressed the problem of visualizing route histories on a mobile device. We developed a solution, which combines the visualization of three route history parameters: speed, direction, and location. The visualization was tested in a laboratory evaluation with 12 subjects. The results showed that by using the visualization the subjects were able to estimate actual driving speeds accurately. The subjects also evaluated that the visualization supported their knowledge of the speed, location, and direction quite well. The results suggest that the presented visualization is an improvement over currently used route history visualizations.
