Abstract  

[Objective] The purpose of this paper is to reduce user distractions effectively by analyzing their reactions to various positioning accuracy of a pedestrian navigation system. [Methods] First, we collected users’ behavior data from the simulation and controlled experiments. Then, we compared the user distraction frequencies and durations with descriptive statistics and significance tests. [Results] We found that users paid more attention to the orientation of the GPS, which increased the number of stopovers and reduced interactions with the APP. [Limitations] We could not exclude the influence of the individual factors on the results and few previous studies discussed the theoretical foundation of our study. [Conclusions] To reduce distractions, pedestrians should decrease their reliance on the navigation system, while the latter needs to provide more specific and comprehensive information.
