Abstract

Object: The proposed evaluation indexes of the subway wayfinding systems was verified in Shandong Province. On the one hand, the evaluation indexes will be further revised and improved, and on the other hand, the subway wayfinding system in Shandong Province will be comprehensively evaluated to provide suggestions for further improvement. Method: Questionnaire and multi-level sampling method was used to sample Qingdao City. Results: The score of Line 3 is higher than that of Line 2 and Line 11. Using the Normative index score as the dependent variable and the subway line as the independent variable, a one-way analysis of variance was performed. It was found that there were no significant differences in the three subway lines in the Normative index. Line 2 and Line 3 have no significant difference in Normative index.
