“…For example, 3D Wayfinder, developed by 3D Technologies R&D, uses short-range broadcast devices to provide customized digital signage for their users, while NaviLens by Neosistec is an enhanced kind of QR code that can be scanned to access wayfinding information [20,21]. Another example is the mobile application of Gate-to-Go proposed by [22]. It uses the reference number of platform screen doors and exit gates as the index to help the passengers locate their destinations and find the shortest routes.…”

Taipei Metro, since its inception in 1996, has become the most important public transport option for commuters and travelers in the metropolitan Taipei area, delivering over two million daily rides. Nevertheless, the interior environment of Taipei Metro has a reputation for being disorienting, especially to the infrequent passengers. By incorporating the methods of behavioral mapping and visibility analysis, this study argues that the occurrence of disorientation is highly dependent on visual properties of Taipei Metro’s interior layout. Specifically, the number of decision-making stops and the visibility conditions of stairs and escalators are found to be particularly influential. To enhance the passengers’ wayfinding experience, a mobile application comprised of two components is proposed. The Route Planner is to advise the passengers to avoid the areas that cause disorientation, while the Navigator, by providing the panoramic views of certain locations, can help the passengers reach their destinations more easily.
