| Summary | This study has established a mathematical model that can be an assistant tool for selecting the best place names for guide signs. Its biggest advantage is that it provides quantitative performance measures and objectively estimates the selection of place names. When the selection criteria appear fuzzy or doubtful when only described with text, this mode can still find the appropriate place names using the same criteria. In order to verify the practicality of this model, we applied it to a simple real example, and the results showed that different countries have also developed the principle selection mode of the geographical names for guide signs by implying some influential factors, such as urban population and distance away from the signs. Therefore, mathematical modeling can be applied to this method.
Finally, we recommend a principle for selecting guard signs, the “Manual on uniform guide signs”, and propose a standard procedure for planning road guard signs, both of which can be provided to road-related authorities. |
