  • From the 20th century, as international trade increases with the development of transportation and industries, a standard pictorial language to facilitate exchanges with others in different countries became necessary. However, it is not easy to have a full agreement on a standard pictorial language among different cultures. Therefore, the evaluation of standard pictograms has been the main discussion issue of the 150 since the organization's establishment in 1947. Although the 150 has a test method, 1509186, the participating countries do not follow the test because it does not reflect individual seeing mechanism for decoding pictogram which varies with his/her own experience. This study focuses on the theory of graphic symbol and seeing mechanism, and suggests what should be taken into account in the standardization process. In Chapter 2, the study investigates whether there be any cultural shock as we live in the net culture, and defines what reality is from a digital aesthetics view. What should be studied further is also presented, and a new method for revised international standard by means of analyzing seeing mechanism of decoding pictogram is suggested.

  • The purpose of this study was to verify the degree of visibility of FOLED (fiber optic light-emitting diode) materials applied to safety-enhancing clothes of micro-mobility users during the day and night by conducting an empirical test targeting 50 people in their teens, 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's or older. First, the results of the visibility test at 10 m-intervals from 10 to 70 m based on the clothes sample showed that the light detection of FOLED material was very good without daytime or night-time distinction. Second, the results of directional sign detection of FOLED were confirmed to be very high without any daytime or night. Third, the results of identifying a pictogram design showed that the distance was shorter than that of light detection or directional indication. However, the FOLED pictogram design could be confirmed at a distance of 50 m or less. Therefore, if a clothes product using FOLED material is worn and micro-mobility is used, the experimental results indicate that safety will be sufficiently secured due to the excellent visibility.

  • The railway safety sign, which is a part of railway signal system, is installed at the lineside to inform a train driver the position, direction or condition concerning the train operation by its shapes, colors or symbols. The sign in the existed line of South Korea has low-level of visibility and legibility, so that it is difficult for the drivers to understand the meaning of a sign enough by just seeing its letters or pictogram. This paper is aimed at reviewing the design problems of the sign in existed line and developing the design to enhance its visibility and legibility and verifying its effectiveness.

  • Railway sign(graphic sign, diagraphics) designs require good recognition with universality to transmit accurate and speedy information as they connect people around the station and other transport systems. An important point of signs is how to design and deliver the contents to the viewers as a communication service tools. It needs to establish design guidelines with standardization and unified system to show their contents and images clearly like common language with visuality, attractivity and generality. These requisites are important for both aesthetics legibility and unified standards to maximize the effectiveness of pictograms for the use of the general public, who require systematic suggestion and management.

  • 본 논문에서는 퀄컴의 Vuforia 엔진을 이용한 공공안내그림표지를 인식하여 해당 표지의 정보를 알려주는 어플리케이션을 제안하고 구현하였다. Vuforia 엔진은 이미지 인식 엔진 중 비교적 최근에 만들어져 다양한 마커를 활용할 수 있으며 속도, 마커 인식 면에서 다른 이미지 인식에 비해 뛰어 나다. 본 논문에서는 Vuforia 엔진에 기반한 공공안내그림표지를 인식하여 해당 표지의 정보를 알려주는 어플리케이션을 설계하고 구현하였다. 제안한 방법은 스마트폰으로 특정 공공안내그림표지를 인식하면 해당 표지의 정보를 출력해주도록 한다. 또한 공공안내그림표지를 관련된 분야별로 볼 수 있으며 검색을 이용하여 공공안내그림표지를 검색할 수 있다.
