    When a large tsunami occurs at night, greater casualties can be expected than might occur during a similar daytime event. In this study, we investigated illuminated route signs for tsunami evacuation by examining noticeability under different installation conditions. We began by installing prototype route signs in a coastal town where tsunami damages have been predicted. Then, we conducted an evacuation behavior experiment of assumed tourists. The results showed that the route signs had noticeability problems for people who were unfamiliar with the area. Accordingly, in an effort to improve noticeability, we verified various route sign types based on subjective evaluations using computer graphics (CG) images. As a result, route sign noticeability increased as the display panel became larger, and that the addition of an 800 lm flash light to the sign improved its noticeability. Additionally, our investigation showed that noticeability trends were similar to those for the wayfinding effect. Finally, we fabricated a number of actual route signs and analyzed their noticeability through experimental observations. As a result, 90% of the test subjects noticed the route sign, which had a 1600 lm flash light, a 360 (w) x720 (h) mm display panel, and the setting height of 4.5 m.

    Historically, paper folding method was adopted into Japanese traditional lampstand ‘Andon’ and western lampshades. If we put non-flat texture on the surface of such lampshade with paper folding method, nonuniform luminance distribution appears on the surface according to basic laws of illuminance.

    In graphic science education, understanding of knowledge about shape and light is quite significant. However, students find it difficult to learn the function of the shapes and actual brightness distribution in graphic science education with computer aided design (CAD) and three-dimensional computer graphics (3DCG) education. To improve this situation, we introduced model manufacturing of lampshade into graphic science education. First, students should decide curved line on graph paper by hand and decide coordination of control points of the curved line. Secondly, students input both the coordination data of the points and number of frames. Then, 3DCG application generated CG perspective view of the lampshade, drawing of lampshade frame and drawing of development of curved lampshade surface from these data. Finally, students should manufacture paper model of the lampshade with printed drawings. In this paper, we explain the objective of the class, schedule of the class, detailed content of the lampshade designing exercise, submitted CG drawings and paper models and result of class evaluation by students.

    Various crimes have been steadily increasing and many people feel uneasy about public safety. Especially, the number of snatch occurrence in Osaka has been the top in Japan for the last 31 years, and it is serious problem. This study aims to research relationship between visibility and occurrence of snatch by quantifying the visibility.
    At first, from relationship among occurrence of snatch, population data, land-use data, and illuminance data, 24 wards in Osaka city were classified into 4 groups. In Sumiyoshi ward, belonging residential area group, relationship of occurrence of snatch was studied. From the study, the rate of occurrence of snatch is relatively lower in the area where distance of visible road is from 50m to 100m comparing the area where the distance is longer or shorter in both.

    Efficient support of graphical and spatial 3D design using computers needs a user interface that incorporates easy manipulation of 3D information, integrated phases of manipulation and estimation, and continuous modifications of 3D information. To achieve this, the Binding Box Model was proposed, in which 3 D graphical and spatial information is represented by spatial units and their bindings. The model enabled manipulation of 3 D graphical and spatial data based on perspective projection drawing. A prototype system implementing this concept was developed to identify the advantages and disadvantages of that model.

    This research aims at grasping the mathematical aspect of space given by primitive figure in order to study relation between human psychology and shape of the space. Firstly visible area is defined at each point in the space as the portion of the area which is visible from the point. On the basis of this, simple concave figure has been used to examine how a distribution of visible quantity would change with the shape of space. Average and standard deviation of visible rate was also used to figure out an effect of shape and alignment of obstacle area. A possibility of the existence of a certain relation between the intuitive impression of space and visible area was suggested as a result of examination.

  • A study on the risk evaluation of earthquake caused by active fault systemsThe ranking of grade of risk using presumed damage population
    SUZUKI HIROTAKA
    The aim of the present paper is to assess earthquake hazard to human life from major active fault systems distributed across the Japanese archipelago and propose the way of evaluating grade of risk which caused by each active fault system. Firstly, the authors estimate "potential disaster area" where a ground shaking(acceleration) of PGA≥400(cm/s^2) will endanger human life from anticipated earthquakes in each major active fault system. Secondly, "presumed damage population" are estimated from "potential disaster area" and population data. We fix grade of risk from "presumed damage population". Finally, we examine stability of obtained grade of risk and relation between "presumed damage population" and length of each active fault system to show efficacy of proposed grade.

  • Algorithm of Lighting Simulation
    Suzuki Hirotaka
    Recently, much more lighting simulation tools or 3DCAD/CG tools implement algorithms for lighting environment simulation. However, some users of these tools do not understand how the algorithms work and, consequently, they do not know appropriate algorithm for a certain case study. To simulate lighting environment taking into account interreflection, boundary condition of architectural space or light flux must be considered discretely to keep computational load finite. In this article, author try to describe brief explanation of radiosity method, which transacts continuous boundary condition discretely, and raytracing method, which transacts infinite light flux discretely, so that even beginners of numeric calculation can comprehend both algorithms intuitively. At first, principle of interreflection calculation is explained with simple case with 2 elements. Then, calculation method of incident luminous flux ratio from another element is described. Finally, advantageous points and disadvantageous points of both algorithms are explained with various example figures of calculation result.

    SUZUKI Hirotaka
    In the Department of Urban Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka City University, we have been providing a special exercise designed to teach students how to formulate and propose landscape guidelines based on the results of a landscape survey on a specific target area. In academic year 2006, we upgraded this exercise by introducing image processing techniques into the analysis process. This improvement aims at an objective landscape evaluation, which otherwise tends to be viewed as a subjective process. Students were provided with a simple computer program designed to process the pixels that meet certain conditions. In this report, we will outline the schedule and contents of this exercise, examples of the students' analyses of landscape images as well as examples of analyses of rendering images based on the landscape guidelines proposed by the students.

  • AN IMPACT BY INTRODUCTION OF LIGHTING EQUIPMENT DESIGN INTO GRAPHIC SCIENCE EDUCATION
    SUZUKI Hirotaka
    In Osaka City University, Graphic Science Education has been located as design language education constructed by knowledge and technique which facilitate intelligible communication making good use of diagrams. However, the effect of light flow is not sufficiently considered comparing to shape factor though light flow also give great effect to the works. Author believes that consideration of light flow is highly significant because the same shapes can give different impression with different lighting environment. Accordingly author introduced the assignment which design lighting equipment making use of CSG model. In this paper, consistency between the class with lighting equipment design and the past class, submitted works and evaluation of the assignment by students themselves are explained. Finally, the result of text data analysis for submitted works are described to show the impact of the works. Total byte of each submitted works and result of keywords search were examined to evaluate the impact. From these analysis, author conclude that lighting equipment design could raise the incentive to construct works of CSG model and the effect of the assignment also influenced the final works which were submitted after lighting equipment design assignment.

    In Osaka City University, Graphic Science Education has been located not as an entrance of drawing and designing exercise but as design language education constructed by knowledge and technique which facilitate intelligible communication making good use of diagrams. Author believes that consideration of light flow is highly significant because the same shapes can give different impression with different lighting environment. Accordingly author introduced the assignment which design lighting equipment making use of CSG model. As lighting equipment has close relationship with light flow, student should understand behavior of light flow before they start construction of the works. In this paper, submitted works and evaluation of the assignment by students themselves are explained. Finally, the result of text data analysis for submitted works are described to show the impact of the works. Total byte of each submitted works and result of keywords search were examined to evaluate the impact.

  • A STUDY ON SUPPORT PROCESS OF COMMUNITY PLANNING MAKING USE OF RENDERING IMAGES
    SUZUKI Hirotaka, ONO Akira, SUGIYAMA Shigekazu
    Recently, suggestions by local residents committee are playing significant role in community planning. However, residents cannot understand content of plans sufficiently if planning information are offered by only documents and 2-dimensional drawings. To solve these problems, visual information is considered so effective that models and photographs are often utilized in planning process. In this paper, we made use of photos with image processing to visualize proposed landscape guidelines. In the class of graduate school, 17 rules for landscape guideline were proposed from 7 students, and 18 rendering images were developed. Finally, we could lead active discussion in local residents' committee making use the photos. At the same time, we got the fact that rendering images may give negative effects because of its high impact.

    After the Great East Japan Earthquake and thereafter, lighting environment problems related to power saving and energy saving for various parts of Tohoku, related departments of local governments in the Kanto region, companies related to lighting equipment, visually impaired people, etc. We conducted a survey on points and maintenance status. Then, various problems were extracted and analyzed, and the improvement of the problems and the reliable, safe and high quality lighting design method were considered. Furthermore, we planned a laboratory experiment and planned an evaluation experiment study that quantitatively deals with the relationship between low-vision visibility and lighting conditions, and clarified the lighting design requirements. In addition, we conducted a survey in Japan and overseas on examples of light environment design that saves power while also considering visual workability. In addition, we also proposed and supervised the design at the lighting design site.

  • Proposal of matrix of indices evaluating performance of daylighting system as a design aid
    Iwata Toshie, SUZUKI Hirotaka, ITO Daisuke, TANIGUCHI Tomoko
    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Challenging Exploratory Research, Tokai University, 01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2016
    Daylighting in buildings is recommended and advanced daylighting systems have been developed. In order to aid architects in choosing a suitable daylighting system, several simple indices showing properties for energy-saving and visual comfort are proposed in this study. Daylighting systems are classified to identify their required properties. Distribution of daylight in systems which utilize mirror reflection can now be modelled by advanced lighting simulation algorithms. Both the visible light and heat gain of daylighting systems (interior blind and exterior blind) are measured by using a special measurement device. Equivalent luminous efficacy, the effective luminous flux coefficient, and the reduction factor of discomfort glare are newly defined. These indices for daylighting systems are measured for standard outside conditions, which are determined from the frequency of climatic conditions. A matrix of these indices is presented.

    Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), University of Toyama, 2010 - 2012
    The purposes of this study are, to understand obstacles for rescue and medical workers such as poor lighting conditions and visual object factors at night time outdoor works, to extract problems regarding visibility and color conditions under current situations of medical work relief activities at night time, and to make proposals for the improvement of the lighting environment in order to secure better rescue and medical activities in the future. First, we conduct survey to rescue workers to extract needs and problems of visual environment in disaster situation. One should take note that there are differences with regard to luminous flux, irradiation area and color rendering. There also should be standardized input of information on specifications of equipment. Moreover wereports collecting the spectral reflectance data and creating the color chart database of quasi-skins in shock and congested state by healthy young/ elderly subjects, in order to determine the visual conditions of disaster victim’s skin under a situation like buried in rubble. In so doing we examine the influence of gender and age. Also, we develop the methods of high speed continuous measurement of luminance distribution in the visual field using moving images in order to assess the adaptation luminance in the nighttime rescue situation.
