This study investigates the dynamic performance of a road sign equipped with a multi-material electronic signboard subjected to mining-induced seismic tremors. The key innovative aspect lies in providing new insights into the dynamic performance of m...
This study focuses on whether signboards attract people’s visual concentration as a foreground element of the streetscape and check the difference in streetscape image according to the area of the signboard. For this purpose, 133 street-view ph...
To realize the construction of smart cities, the fine management of various street objects is very important. In dealing with the form of objects, it is considered a pursuit of normativeness and precision. Store signboards are a tangible manifestatio...
Hydrogen gas is attractive as a clean fuel source if it can be produced efficiently without relying on fossil fuels. Biohydrogen production using photosynthetic bacteria may enable environmentally friendly hydrogen production but is currently limited...
Road safety signboards are now difficult to see due to pollution and harsh weather elements such as snow and fog, which has resulted in more accidents. The problem is especially common in Western countries where snow can block these critical signs. A...
The social interest in outdoor advertising signs, which have been recognized as an important element affecting impressions of a town, has been gradually increasing. However, when these signs are fully scattered around commercial areas, an oppressive...
A modeling procedure was proposed for the through-hole LEDs commonly used in traffic signs. The measurements from a sample batch of LEDs were performed at several midfield distances to provide a set of representative angular intensity distributions a...
The traditional method of designing wayfinding systems has been used in tourism management for decades. However, the absence of quantitative evaluations for the wayfinding system at tourist resorts may affect information transmission and cause visito...
Plastics are used in cover substrates for billboards, windows, large LED signboards, lighting devices, and solar panels because they are transparent and can be colored and shaped as desired. However, when plastic cover substrates installed in outdoor...
