N2  - Lack of suitable signs in pedestrian intensive networks similar to those found in certain transport interchanges degrades the quality of service of such systems by increasing walking distances, journey times and stressful conditions caused to people getting lost. An Entropy based model for determination of direction signs in a pedestrian flow network has been presented in the paper. Pedestrian route choice behavior has been built into the model to evaluate the selection process for travel paths. A demonstration of the computation procedure to propose a sign system for the underground pedestrian corridor network of a large transport interchange, Osaka Transport Hub, has been included.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
