A STUDY ON COMPREHENSIBILITY OF INFORMATION OF INDUCTION SIGNS: DEGREE OF INFORMATION SEPARATION IN SIGNBOARDS

摘要

A lot of induction signs are set up in places where people gather. These provide users with information to get to their destination quickly and safely. In order to convey these contents correctly, it is important to make the information easy to understand. If there are specific rules on the board, it will be helpful to make it easy to understand even if the contents are complicated. In this study, we focused on the separation of information by the margin in the sign. An experiment was carried out to adjust the width between two destination information in the signboard. It was possible to show unitarily the threshold of the width for recognizing "two adjacent pieces of information are separate pieces of information" and how different the separations were from each other, such as borders and colour coding.
