Experimental analysis of the effectiveness of emergency signage and its implementation in evacuation simulation
This work explored how people interact with signage during evacuation and for the first time quantified the likelihood that signs are detected. The work has implications for both building regulations and evacuation model development/applications. The work was selected as one of the best papers in the 4th HBIF conference for inclusion in the journal special edition (editor s.grayson@dial.pipex.com) and contributed to the award of a PhD for Xie (2011). The work also assisted in the development of an innovative signage system by EVACLITE (Director bmcdonagh@evaclite.com) and a new EU FP7 funded three year project (GETAWAY 265717) to test the concept.
