| Research Abstract |
At the Transport facilities, there are recently not only signs which show the directions and maps, but also many kinds of visual information, such as advertisements and shop signs. The purpose of this study is to find out how to design signs at these transport facilities. We searched for sign problems at the transport facilities through comparative investigation between stations and other similar facilities. In addition, a questionnaire survey to station users and staff and psychology experiment were conducted. The results are as follows :
1.For the visibility of the signs and the harmony of the scenery at the premises, the advertisement should be put along the structure, or they should have some order. The Information Technology like projector or LED should be used.
2.The color of the background on the signboard varied occasionally. When the color of the background changed, the similar color for the line color was occasionally mistaken for other similar colors during the experiment. So, we proposed to standardize the black background signboard. It is obviously easier to find and read than others, because they can be clearly distinguished from the signboard of the stores and other advertisement.
3.As these results were concluded, the new sign design guideline for the transport facilities was proposed.
