Abstract
Object: Based on the preliminary research results of the national standards for the evaluation indexes of railway passenger station wayfinding systems, Shandong Province was selected for field-test. The test process and results provided first-hand information for the improvement and optimization of national standards. It can also find problems in the wayfinding system of Shandong Railway Passenger Station and make suggestions for improvement. Methods: First, a questionnaire was prepared based on the preliminary evaluation indexes proposed in the national standard. Second, based on the sampling method in the National Standard, combined with the actual situation of the Shandong Railway Passenger Station, Qingdao Stations, Jinanxi Station, and Weifangbei Station were tested as sampling stations. Results: Among three railway stations tested in Shandong Province, Jinanxi Railway Station had lower scores in terms of basic specifications, safety, and coordination.
