      abstract     = {Evacuation signage playsa vital role in building
                      evacuation. In order to test the efficiency of evacuation
                      signage, the traditional methods are video analysis and
                      after-drill questionnaires and the human factors are rarely
                      considered. This paper investigates the impact of
                      surrounding pedestrians on the sign guidance efficiency
                      during building emergency evacuation, replacing the
                      traditional ways with eye tracking device method. More than
                      500 participants wereinvolved in the series of experiments
                      to testthe influence of surrounding people on detecting and
                      following signages. It is found that a) the subjective
                      ignorance and objective ignorance of signs exist obviously
                      and areaffected by surrounding people number; b) strangers
                      and acquaintances have similar effect on the sign detection
                      probability and direction choosing probability in the safe
                      and quick evacuation experiments, contrary to general
                      belief; c) One surrounding personhas an important influence
                      on the sign guidance effect, especially on the following
                      probability, while three surrounding peoplenot. Based on the
                      results of the experiments, a new logic of wayfinding within
                      rooms was put forward and simulated to compared with the
                      original logic. It is shown that the average right direction
                      choosing percentage decreases $by30\%$ after considering the
                      effect of surrounding pedestrians, proving that the impact
                      of surrounding pedestrians must be considered in evacuation
                      modeling and evacuation route design.},
