Airport road access design solutions: a conceptual study of wayfinding systems

The growth of the airport in the world will have a significant impact on future road access design. Pressure by drivers for simplifying of airport wayfinding has led to the inclusion of basic road access design so as to reduce the cost. An effective of wayfinding is directly linked to the reduction in drivers’ travelling cost and number of road accidents. Drivers prefer an effective airport wayfinding system in airport areas to navigate easily. This has raised an aim to investigate ways in which airport road access design can be improved, through a conceptual study of both wayfinding design and signage information systems. It leads to the exploration of the new field of the study in order to propose appropriate guidelines and solutions on airport navigation with an emphasis on simplifying the wayfinding provision design in a future.
