Abstract

<p>The purpose of a railway map is to indicate the relationship of connecting location between stations and railways, and to gratis the restrictions from distances, directions and scales. It is a kind of topological map that is also known as a network maps in displaying series of points and lines. In this paper, the establishing process of a railway map was firstly investigated, and the observation of recognizing railway network was then followed by. After this, one of the required functions in railway map, which is the retrieving of information, was focused and evaluated through experiment Despite the differences of knowledge between candidates of the experiment, a virtual topological map of three networks with different patterns was constructed after observing how people recognize existing railway maps. The results are: 1) the forms and shapes that were structured from railways are simplified into simple forms in human. 2) The main factors that influence the level of retrieving are determined by the radius and existence of roundness in comers. </p>
