Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of subway guide signs, and in particular to a vision-based subway guide sign utility evaluation method. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, subways, as the backbone of public transportation in large cities, carry an ever-increasing passenger flow. Clear, accurate, and user-friendly directional signs are crucial for improving passenger travel efficiency, ensuring riding safety, and enhancing passenger satisfaction. Evaluating the effectiveness of subway directional signs is of great value to multiple stakeholders. First, for passengers, an efficient directional system can greatly reduce the incidence of getting lost and hesitation, thereby improving the overall travel experience. Second, for subway operators, a good sign system can reduce the number of times passengers consult staff, lowering labor costs while also reducing safety hazards and potential liability risks. Therefore, evaluating the effectiveness of subway directional signs is extremely important.

[0003] The existing technology for evaluating the effectiveness of subway directional signs can meet current requirements to a certain extent, but it still has certain defects, which are specifically reflected in the following aspects:

[0004] 1. When testing the effectiveness of subway directional signs, existing technologies lack a differentiated analysis of primary and secondary signs. Primary and secondary signs have a certain correlation, and the effectiveness of primary signs affects the effectiveness of secondary signs. The existing technologies' neglect of this aspect leads to inaccurate effectiveness analysis of subway directional secondary signs, making it difficult to provide strong data support for subsequent improvements to subway directional secondary signs. This results in poor use of secondary signs in the actual operation of subway stations, thereby increasing the incidence of getting lost and hesitation, reducing citizens' travel experience, and lowering the operating efficiency of the subway.

[0005] 2. Existing technologies often lack objectivity and systematicity in evaluating the effectiveness of subway main signs. On the one hand, they often rely on individual subjective perceptions or single questionnaires, which fail to fully reflect the underlying issues. On the other hand, passengers of different ages have varying physical conditions, leading to varying needs for clear display of subway main signs and the time it takes to find exits through them. Existing technologies neglect this aspect, making it difficult to ensure the effective use of subway signs for passengers, reducing their value and hindering efficient exit procedures for passengers. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the effectiveness of subway guide signs based on vision, which solves the problems existing in the background technology.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a vision-based subway guide sign effectiveness evaluation method, including: S1. Subway guide sign test arrangement: recruit test volunteers of various age groups for the guide signs of designated subway stations, and randomly assign them to the main sign test group and the secondary sign test group, thereby obtaining test volunteers of various age groups in the main sign test group and test volunteers of various age groups in the secondary sign test group.

[0008] S2. Main logo test: arrange the test destination for each test volunteer of each age group in the main logo test group, and obtain the experimental distance, actual exit and test duration of each test volunteer of each age group in the main logo test group.

[0009] S3. Sub-sign test: arrange test exits for volunteers of each age group in the sub-sign test group, obtain the observation time of each volunteer of each age group in each sub-sign through eye tracking technology, and record the actual exits and test time of each volunteer of each age group in the sub-sign test group.

[0010] S4. Utility evaluation: The utility evaluation coefficient of the subway guide main signs is evaluated based on the experimental distance, actual exit and test time of each test volunteer of each age group in the main sign test group, and the utility evaluation coefficient of the subway guide secondary signs is evaluated based on the actual exit, test time and observation time of each secondary sign of each volunteer of each age group in the secondary sign test group.

[0011] S5. Early warning processing: Issue early warning to subway management personnel based on the utility evaluation coefficient of the subway guide primary sign and the utility evaluation coefficient of the subway guide secondary sign.

[0012] Furthermore, it is characterized in that the specific analysis method for evaluating the utility evaluation coefficient of the subway guidance main sign is: based on the test destination of each test volunteer of each age group in the main sign test group, the destination exit of each test volunteer of each age group in the main sign test group is located from the main sign.

[0013] The actual exit of each test volunteer of each age group in the main identification test group is compared with the destination exit. If the actual exit of a test volunteer of a certain age group in the main identification test group is the same as the destination exit, the test volunteer is recorded as a qualified volunteer. Otherwise, the volunteer is recorded as a risk volunteer. Then, the qualified volunteers and risk volunteers of each age group in the main identification test group are obtained, and the information communication accuracy evaluation index ε of the main identification test group is analyzed.

[0014] The display clarity η of the main logo is calculated based on the experimental distance of each test volunteer of each age group in the main logo test group.

[0015] The test duration of each qualified volunteer is obtained based on the test duration of each test volunteer at each age stage of the main identification test group, and then the execution efficiency evaluation coefficient μ of the main identification test group is evaluated.

[0016] Calculate the effectiveness evaluation coefficient of the main subway guide signs Where e is a natural constant, and λ1, λ2, and λ3 represent the influence weight factors corresponding to the predefined information communication accuracy, display clarity, and execution efficiency, respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, the information transmission accuracy evaluation index ε of the main identification test group is analyzed. The specific analysis method is as follows: the number of qualified volunteers and the number of risk volunteers of each age group in the main identification test group are counted, and the number of qualified volunteers of each age group in the main identification test group is divided by the number of risk volunteers to obtain the information transmission accuracy ratio coefficient A of each age group in the main identification test group. i , where i is the number of each age stage, i = 1, 2, ..., n, and n is any integer greater than 2.

[0018] Evaluation coefficient of information transmission accuracy ratio fluctuation of the main logo test group Where n is the number of age stages.

[0019] Obtain the appropriate information transmission accuracy ratio coefficient A for each age group of the main logo test group from the database i ′, the information transmission accuracy evaluation index of the main identification test group

[0020] Furthermore, the display clarity η of the main logo is calculated, and its specific analysis method is as follows: obtaining the number of permanent residents and the flow of people near the designated subway station from the monitoring platform, obtaining the number of permanent residents, the flow of people near each operating subway station, the actual longest congestion distance and the actual shortest congestion distance of the main logo from the database, screening the longest congestion distance and the shortest congestion distance of the main logo of the designated subway station, and selecting the middle value as the reference experimental distance of the main logo of the subway station.

[0021] Based on the experimental distances of each test volunteer at each age stage in the main logo test group, the experimental distances are averaged to obtain the average test experimental distances of each age stage in the main logo test group, and the display clarity influencing factors of each age stage are extracted from the database.

[0022] The average test experimental distance of each age group of the main logo test group is divided by the reference experimental distance, and multiplied by the display clarity influencing factor to obtain the display clarity σ of each age group of the main logo test group. i .

[0023] Calculate the display clarity of the main logo Where γ1 and γ2 represent the proportion factors corresponding to the average display clarity and display clarity fluctuation, respectively.

[0024] Furthermore, the execution efficiency evaluation coefficient μ of the main identification test group is evaluated by a specific evaluation method: the test time of each qualified volunteer is obtained based on the test time of each test volunteer of each age group in the main identification test group.

[0025] The test durations of qualified volunteers at each age stage in the main identification test group are averaged to obtain the average test durations of each age stage in the main identification test group. This average test duration is then compared with the appropriate test duration ranges for each age stage in the main identification test stored in the database. If the average test duration of an age stage in the main identification test group falls within the appropriate test duration range, this age stage is recorded as an appropriate age stage, and the execution efficiency risk value of this age stage is recorded as C. Otherwise, the following analysis is performed:

[0026] This age group is recorded as the risk age group, and the excess test time of this age group is obtained. Then, the excess test time of this age group is divided by the appropriate test time to obtain the execution efficiency risk value of this age group.

[0027] The execution efficiency risk value C of each appropriate age group of the main identification test group is obtained by statistics m and the execution efficiency risk value C′ at each risk age stage p , where m is the number of each appropriate age stage, m = 1, 2, ..., l, l is any integer greater than 2, and p is the number of each risk age stage, p = 1, 2, ..., q, q is any integer greater than 2.

[0029] Furthermore, the utility evaluation coefficient of the subway guide secondary sign is specifically analyzed as follows: the actual exit of each volunteer of each age group in the secondary sign test group is compared with the test exit. If the actual exit of a volunteer of a certain age group in the secondary sign test group is the same as the test exit, the volunteer is recorded as a successful volunteer. Otherwise, the volunteer is recorded as a failed volunteer. The successful volunteers and failed volunteers of each age group in the secondary sign test group are obtained, and the execution efficiency evaluation coefficient of the secondary sign test group is evaluated in combination with the actual exit of each volunteer of each age group in the secondary sign test group and the test time.

[0030] Based on the observation time of each sub-logo by volunteers of different age groups in the sub-logo test group, the display clarity of the sub-logo was analyzed.

[0031] Calculate the utility evaluation coefficient of subway guide secondary signs Where χ1 and χ2 represent the proportion factors corresponding to the predefined execution efficiency and display clarity, respectively.

[0032] Furthermore, the execution efficiency evaluation coefficient of the sub-identification test group is analyzed by the following specific method: extracting the appropriate test duration intervals for each age group in the sub-identification test from the database, and selecting the middle value of the appropriate test duration intervals for each age group in the sub-identification test as the reference test duration.

[0033] Based on the test time of each volunteer at each age stage in the sub-identification test group, the test time of each successful volunteer at each age stage in the sub-identification test group is obtained, and the test time is divided by the reference test time to obtain the execution efficiency risk value of each successful volunteer at each age stage in the sub-identification test group, and the average value is processed to obtain the average execution efficiency risk value SC of each age stage in the sub-identification test group i .

[0034] Count the number of successful volunteers and failed volunteers of each age group in the sub-identification test group, and evaluate the execution efficiency evaluation coefficient of the sub-identification test group

[0035] Furthermore, the display clarity of the sub-identification is specifically analyzed as follows: obtaining the associated exits corresponding to each sub-identification from the cloud database, screening the sub-identifications corresponding to the test exits of each volunteer at each age stage in the sub-identification test group based on the test exits of each volunteer at each age stage in the sub-identification test group, and recording them as the associated sub-identifications of each volunteer at each age stage in the sub-identification test group, and recording the remaining sub-identifications as ordinary sub-identifications.

[0036] Based on the observation time of each volunteer of each age group in each sub-identification test group, the observation time TI of each associated sub-identification of each volunteer of each age group in the sub-identification test group is extracted ijh and the observation time TI of each common sub-mark ijf , where j is the number of each volunteer, j = 1, 2, ..., k, k is any integer greater than 2, h is the number of each associated sub-identifier, h = 1, 2, ..., g, g is any integer greater than 2, f is the number of each common sub-identifier, f = 1, 2, ..., t, t is any integer greater than 2.

[0037] Calculate the display clarity of the secondary logo Where UI and UI′ are the allowed observation time of the associated identifier and the allowed observation time of the common identifier stored in the database, t is the number of common sub-identifiers, g is the number of associated sub-identifiers, and k is the number of volunteers.
