Abstract

This paper presents a vision of how pervasive information visualization can be used to support passenger navigation in public metro systems. The system we propose combines mobile devices with large display interfaces in order to make the process of metro system navigation more convenient by allowing a passenger to plan their route in the station using a large-display interface and follow the route using notifications on a smart-watch or similar wearable device. This system will reduce the need for passengers to search in-station maps for their destination, rely on their view of in-carriage route maps, or work a metro navigation app on their smart-phone on crowded carriages. This aims to make the process of metro travel less of a hassle for most travellers, and especially travellers who are not familiar with the metro network. Our system acts also acts as an early stage case-study for testing the concept of pervasive information visualization.
