Abstract
To research the rationality of the location of safety signs, the safety signs were set at different positions and heights in the corridor. 30 subjects were invited to attend the experiment. Tobii eye tracker was used to record eye movement data which could reflect the distribution of subjects’ attention in two research experiments. The fixation duration of subjects on the signs in the corridor was taken as the evaluation index for drawing attention. SPSS was used to analyze the data from the eye tracker. The results indicate that there was no significant correlation between the eye height and the fixation duration to safety signs at different positions. The safety signs should be set at about 1.25m, and it could be paid more attention to post them on the wall without other disturbances. As the signs of emergency evacuation that should be set low, it is more reasonable to set them on the ground than on the walls. Therefore, the location setting of the safety signs have very important influence on visual search performance.
