Tech Transfer #5: Interactive Tourist Information Sign Website – COMPLETED!
Last month we posted all of the success story projects that PacTrans gave additional funding for technology transfer.
Success Story #5 involved the study of traffic sign understandability. The tech transfer funding given was for two purposes: (1) to provide a mechanism for sharing the literature review, experimental methods, results, and findings of the project; and (2) to provide an interactive interface that will enable users from around the world to populate a geospatial database with images and descriptions of information signs in different contexts. For both of these components a website was to be created. We are excited to announce that that website has been completed!
