Abstract
The complexity of pedestrian spatio-temporal behaviour calls for the combination of several complementary empirical methods in order to comprehensively understand human motion behaviour patterns and underlying motives, habits and intentions. This is essential for the development of mobile spatial information technologies, as the huge amount of potentially available information has to be filtered and customised to individual needs. Therefore, in this contribution a currently ongoing project aiming at the classification of pedestrian walking behaviour and related influence factors is described. We illustrate the multi-methods-approach applied in this study and present experimental results based on a dataset of more than 100 trajectories of pedestrians observed in indoor and outdoor shopping environments as well as results of a survey containing 130 interviews.

The technical aspects of tracking humans using race-timing technology are examined and some methods to analyse this data are proposed to determine whether typologies of tourist behaviour do indeed exist and the utility of the data to address the requirements of the recreational behaviour simulator.

An empirically-grounded comparison of both techniques for recovering data on routes selected by pedestrians as they engage in unrestricted travel from place to place in an urban environment finds mid-trip interception tracking provides expensive but accurate data on partial trips whereas questionnaires provide more easily obtainable data on complete trips but with a lesser degree of accuracy.

An ongoing study focussing upon a multi-method approach towards the observation and interpretation of pedestrian walking patterns and route decision behaviour will serve as a basis for the development of a typology of pedestrian spatio-temporal behaviour, which will allow the provision of customised navigational and environmental information in pedestrian navigation services.
