abstract = {Evacuation signs are important for emergency evacuation in
complex buildings. The interaction between evacuees and
evacuation signs attracted much attention. However, current
research mainly considers the visibility of signs and
depends on inaccurate video analysis and subjective
after-drill questionnaires, and the impact of surrounding
people is ignored. This paper utilized an eye-tracking
device to collect the sign detection data objectively and
concentrated on the following behavior with surrounding
people. Based on the results of a series of experiments, it
is found that not all pedestrians detect the signs due to
objective and subjective ignorance. Even the sign is
detected, there exist some evacuees who decide to follow
other pedestrians rather than sign guidance. Consequently, a
new interaction logic and a new wayfinding method are
applied in an evacuation model. The simulation results show
the significant difference between the two logics in this
paper. It describes that the original logic overestimates
the sign guidance effect and underestimates the evacuation
time strongly. The new logic can be applied in the
building’s design and security evaluation to enhance
evacuation safety.},
