Publikation Evaluating the impact of visualization of risk upon emergency route-planning(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Cheong, Lisa; Kinkeldey, Christoph; Burfurd, Ingrid; Bleisch, Susanne; Duckham, MattThis paper reports on a controlled experiment evaluating how different cartographic representations of risk affect participants’ performance on a complex spatial decision task: route planning. The specific experimental scenario used is oriented towards emergency route-planning during flood response. The experiment compared six common abstract and metaphorical graphical symbolizations of risk. The results indicate a pattern of less-preferred graphical symbolizations associated with slower responses and lower-risk route choices. One mechanism that might explain these observed relationships would be that more complex and effortful maps promote closer attention paid by participants and lower levels of risk taking. Such user considerations have important implications for the design of maps and mapping interfaces for emergency planning and response. The data also highlights the importance of the ‘right decision, wrong outcome problem’ inherent in decision-making under uncertainty: in individual instances, more risky decisions do not always lead to worse outcomes.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Real-time generalization of point data in mobile and web mapping using quadtrees(Taylor & Francis, 29.04.2013) Bereuter, Pia; Weibel, RobertWith a focus on mobile and web mapping, we propose several algorithms for on-the-fly generalization of point data, such as points of interest (POIs) or large point collections. In order to achieve real-time performance, we use a quadtree data structure. With their hierarchical subdivision structure and progressive levels of detail, indices of the quadtree family lend themselves as auxiliary data structures to support algorithms for generalization operations, including selection, simplification, aggregation, and displacement of point data. The spatial index can further be used to generate several local and global measures that can then serve to make educated guesses on the density and proximity of points across map scales, and thus enable control of the operation of the generalization algorithms. An implementation of the proposed algorithms has shown that, and thanks to the quadtree index, real-time performance can be achieved even for large point sets. Furthermore, the quadtree data structure can be extended into a caching structure, which can be used to store pre-computed generalizations; thus, a desired level of detail (LOD) can simply be retrieved from cache.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Generalisation operators(Springer, 08.07.2014) Stanislawski, Lawrence V.; Buttenfield, Barbara P.; Bereuter, Pia; Savino, Sandro; Brewer, Cynthia A.; Burghardt, Dirk; Duchêne, Cécile; Mackaness, WilliamThis chapter summarises cartographic generalisation operators used to generalise geospatial data. It includes a review of recent approaches that have been tested or implemented to generalise networks, points, or groups. Emphasis is placed on recent advances that permit additional flexibility to tailor generalisation processing in particular geographic contexts, and to permit more advanced types of reasoning about spatial conflicts, preservation of specific feature characteristics, and local variations in geometry, content and enriched attribution. Rather than an exhaustive review of generalisation operators, the chapter devotes more attention to operators associated with network generalisation, which illustrates well the logic behind map generalisation developments. Three case studies demonstrate the application of operators to road thinning, to river network and braid pruning, and to hierarchical point elimination. The chapter closes with some summary comments and future directions.04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Editorial(Taylor & Francis, 23.01.2020) Touya, Guillaume; Bereuter, Pia; Raposo, Paulo01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
