Abstract

A railway map is necessary for any railway users, and its publicity is also high. However, there are only a little precedence studies and have not yet established a standard for it. Therefore, this research aimed to establish a junction symbol notation method for the general topological mapping of route networks based upon a design point of view. The station notation was clarified by two memory experiments with no inf uences to the memory of railway maps. And there is no difference with the element pursued in a junction symbol notations in the result of 6 kinds of experiments of notation methods either. Based upon the result, it can be said that the design of symbols will have no interferences to the railway map if it includes all necessary information. The author has then compared samples of knotting stations and extracted the most suitable notation under the criteria of 'beautiful' and 'users friendly'. As a result, the most suitable notation and position relation of a route appeared.
