Abstract
In big cities, it often occurs that passengers (users) have great difficulties to recognize subway stations. Except improving the signs of subway stations, based on large amounts of field researches, we find 9 practical and effective methods to help passengers to identify subway stations. These 9 methods include visual design, aural design, and tactual design etc. This paper also tries to apply some theories of cognitive psychology about human memory in the research of subways. These methods are also applicable to other space design in subway and even general underground space design.
