The Effect of Aural Signals on Prevent Passersby from Leaving Doors Open

抄録

In this study, we investigated the effect of aural signals on preventing passersby from leaving doors open. We conducted experiments at a walkway at Osaka University frequently used by students. We played a convenience store's entrance chime when passersby opened the door, and observed their immediate behaviors. The results indicated that the sounds were effective in preventing passersby from leaving the doors.
