Research On The Design Of Urban Bus Wayfinding System

With the modernization and internationalization of urban development, forms of public transportation becoming more diverse, traffic heavier, and city streets are growing complicated and dimensional. Public transportation is an important symbol that reflects the development of urban construction, which is closely related to each city activists. Various factors affecting the development of urban public traffic signs,. City with a high population and small and medium-sized cities with few populations have different requirement of public traffic signs. Environment and cultural heritage of a city are also have great effects on traffic signs development.As one of the most primary and general public transport tools, but has lower operating costs and less limited by geography, geological conditions than subway. Compared with taxis, bus has a lower cost and is more favored by the public. Therefore, bus sign system not only reflects the image of the entire public transport system, but also reflects the image of a city.In the first half of this paper, the significance of the theme and article structure is analyzed. In this part, through analyzed the background of bus sign system and the research actuality both at home and abroad, the research direction that bus sign system design should combine with city’s image is putting forward. And also in this part, the article analyzes and defines the concept of bus sign system with specific theories. The amelioration advice, this is based on data collection and actual examples. By analyzing practical cases, the design problems in bus sign system can be found clearly.During the process of bus design improvement, based on analysis of outstanding example and combine the related theories. The design idea of city bus sign system which combined with the image of the city was putting out. Discusses the design and analysis of the design from various aspects, the city bus sign system design should combine with the urban environment, culture and the service object. The presentation of Guilin’s city bus sign system design will also combine with what have mentioned above. This design of Guilin can provide theoretical reference for domestic city bus sign system design.Through theories study and practice, the authors conclude the research findings; it would be helpful to improve the design and function of city bus sign system, and also provide better service for travelers’daily life. At the same time strengthen public transportation sign system’s carrying to city culture, it will become part of the urban programming and bend into city environment, added luster to city’s image.
