ERGONOMICS AND SIGNAGE SYSTEM

Nicoleta Elisabeta PASCU, Nicoleta Luminita CARUTASU, Victor ADIR, George CARUTASU

Abstract


In a signage system ergonomics has a special task, to assure three important things to be done very well: information, direction, destination. The signage systems aim is to achieve such a connection to be safe and secure for the people when they work, travel, navigate etc. Ergonomics and signage system may work to design the best flow or things which may create an easier life for someone involved in an activity. In this paper we analyzed these three actors-ergonomics, humans and a signage system- which have to work together to solve the problems which may appear in our daily life in different domains of activity and we presented the cases studies for several fields.
