THE NAVIGATIONAL EFFECT OF A SOUND SIGN ON THE STREET COVERED WITH SNOW
積雪路面上の直進歩行を誘導する音サインの効果
An experiment was conducted to investigate the navigational effect of a sound sign placed above the route at a height of 3m. The experimental conditions are: 1) no sound signal, 2) one loudspeaker pointing toward the approaching subject at the goal (30m from the start point), 3) two loudspeakers pointing toward the approaching subject at the goal and midpoint, 4) three loudspeakers pointing toward the ground at 5m, 15m, 25m points. It was revealed that every type of sound sign is generally effective but the last one was found to be most effective and feasible for applying to a street.
