The Influence of Spatial Cognitive Model Based on Eye Tracking on Wayfinding Behavior in Underground Parking Lots

Abstract

Objective In view of the fact that the demand for indoor commercial underground parking lot maps is rising, the effect of underground parking lot map navigation with different spatial cognitive modes on individual wayfinding was studied from the perspective of spatial cognitive modes. Methods Firstly, Unity3D software was used to build the underground parking lot environment, and maps with different types of spatial cognitive modes were used as variables, and single factor analysis was used to record and analyze the number of hesitations of subjects in the process of wayfinding; secondly, eye-movement cognitive data of visual forms were obtained based on eye-tracking experiments; finally, the spatial cognitive modes of users and eye-movement indicators were combined to make recommendations on the design of underground parking lot maps and underground Finally, we suggest the improvement of the underground parking map design and the setting of underground parking related facilities based on the user spatial cognitive patterns and eye-movement indexes. Conclusion The map design affects the navigation effect of users in the process of finding the way in the underground parking lot, and the optimized design method of correlating spatial cognitive patterns and eye-movement tracking indicators is established to provide users with a convenient navigation experience and improve the equipment and facilities related to the underground parking lot for the shopping mall.
