Abstract

Signage systems are installed in large facilities, such as airport passenger terminals, to help users easily move through the facility. Simulation systems for evaluating signage systems proposed so far could evaluate only information message and location arrangement from the three essential components of signage system design, which are information message, location arrangement, and expression form. We created a model to represent the sign selection and information acquisition behavior of pedestrian agents by introducing the concept of attractiveness, which can describe expression form. This simulation makes it possible to more clearly discern the effectiveness of signage system designs.
