Future Cities Laboratory | Cognition Perception and Behaviour in Urban Environments

We aim the understanding and modelling wayfinding behaviour in complex, multi-level environments using a combination of real-world observations and virtual reality experiments

Our group embraces the inter-disciplinary nature of Cognitive Science by reaching out to research and application partners in Architecture, Design, Computing and Neuroscience. Our focus is on investigating human interaction with technical systems as well as spatial environments.

Urbanisation in Singapore has led to a variety of transport engineering challenges that need to be considered in the design and retrofit of public spaces for the accommodation of higher population densities. The optimisation of crowd movement is key to the success of these environments as financial and recreational centres. Indeed, this success is ultimately connected to patrons’ well-being and appraisal. Our approach complements big data-driven and simulation-based approaches by providing an in-depth analysis of individuals’ wayfinding decisions in large, dense crowds and the impact of the built environment on these decisions.
