3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this part, the terms and definitions established in GB/T 15565, as well as the following ones apply.
3.1 Location sign
The public information sign which is composed of graphical signs and (or) word signs and used for representing the locations of facilities, sites and service.
3.2 Intersection
The position where the guidance route intersects with other routes or the travel direction alternates.
4 Structure of Guidance System
4.1 The guidance system for public information is composed of the following correlative subsystems:
——The guidance system for city exit and entrance (such as airport, railway station, long-distance bus station, harbor and wharf etc.) information.
——The guidance system for urban transport information;
——The guidance systems for urban public service/entertainment facilities information.
4.2 The guidance system for public information is generally composed of the following guidance elements:
——Location sign;
——Guidance sign;
——Plan schematic diagram;
——Information board;
——Street block guidance map;
——Portable printed matter.
5 General Principles
5.1 Normalization
The design of guidance elements in the guidance system for public information shall meet the requirements of GB/T 20501. The graphical signs are preferred for the guidance elements to convey information. For the graphical signs with their side length greater than 10 mm, they shall be adopted with graphical symbols specified in GB/T 10001 and shall meet the requirements of GB/T 20501.1; for the graphical signs with their side length ranges from 3mm to 10mm shall be adopted with signs specified in GB/T 17695.
5.2 Systematization
5.2.1 In the guidance system, the continuity of guidance information, regularity of setting position and conformity of guidance contents shall be ensured. All the intersections (such as exit and entrance, turnout or convergent point of the route) in the system shall be arranged with corresponding guidance elements and shall guide all the possible destinations as well as the shortest or optimal route to arrive at each destination by the setting of guidance elements.
5.2.2 The continuity of the guidance information between systems shall be guaranteed, it shall not only provide the guidance for inside the system, but also provide the information for arriving at the neighbor systems. The guidance setting for connecting and converting between guidance systems shall be adopted according to consistent rules for converting and transiting smoothly.
5.2.3 During the designing and setting a specific guidance system, the guidance elements therein shall be considered for the function and contribution of the whole urban guidance system, such as, the printed matter which provides guidance function and reflecting the integrated environment, and urban area maps, again like the design of station name for bus station and subway station which can localize the perimeter zone.
5.2.4 All kinds of guidance elements shall be used in conjunction with and set as required in the guidance system.
