This paper presents a Virtual RealityVirtual Reality (VR) (VR) experiment to study pedestrian exit choiceExit choice behavior during evacuationsEvacuation. It investigates whether and to what extent different types of guidance informationGuidance information(i.e. exit signsExit sign and directional signs) influence pedestrian exit choice during an evacuation (drill). The analysis focuses on the commonalities and differences in the pedestrians’ exit choice behavior between the scenario without any additional guidance information and two scenarios with different types of guidance information. The findings suggest that guidance information of exit signs and direction signs have significant influences on the number of recognized exits. Meanwhile, guidance information might have a relevant effect on final exit choice of participants.
