Social science evaluation
In order to find out whether and how digital city information boards can effectively be used as new warning devices, we have commissioned a social science evaluation of a test warning.
A research institute examined how a warning message via digital city information boards is perceived, processed and accepted by bystanders and passers-by. It turned out that city information boards are generally well suited as warning devices.
As a result, a large number of city information boards have already been connected to MoWaS.
