Outline of Final Research Achievements

After we compared abstraction data of notation with a way using a virtual three-dimensional spatial picture, an effective thing could confirm the abstraction by notation.
We took up the station space as a transit center and investigated 17 station in Japan with a node with a street car.
We analyzed the installation situation of the sequence spatial change and the existing signs in detail about JR Okayama station, JR Hiroshima station and JR Kagoshima Central Station. And we could make the installation space of the signs and the problem of posting information clear as well as propose solution method of a problem.
