N2 - Visualizations can help construction safety personnel understand the abstract, dynamic and massive construction information due to its ability in supporting human cognition. However, the effectiveness of cognition support is influenced by the design of visualization and individual differences in cognition ability. To help select appropriate visualizations, this study aims to develop indicators for measuring visualizations' effectiveness in supporting human cognition. Firstly, human's cognitive process of processing visualizations is analysed to obtain the requirements on indicators, then three eye-tracking metrics potential for the measurement are extracted from previous studies, namely, Time to first fixation, Fixation counts and Fixation duration. Finally, an eyetracking experiment using the indicators to compare visualizations commonly used in construction safety management is conducted for demonstration. The results show using the developed indicators to compare visualizations can help us to understand the effect of visualization design on human cognition. The developed indicators could be used to select more appropriate visualizations and guide the visualization design.
