Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Building fire safety equipment (BFSE) management is increasingly complex and time-consuming. The objective of this paper is to develop augmented reality (AR)-enabled systems for BFSE based on cognitive ergonomics theory and explore the impacts of AR interaction modes on enhancing inspection performance. An experiment was conducted with 48 participants divided into three groups: control group with no AR assistance, visual-based AR group, and audiovisual-based AR group. Results indicate that the developed AR applications improve work efficiency, with the audiovisual-based system achieving the best task performance in BFSE inspections. The developed AR applications reduced cognitive load during inspections, although participants using the audiovisual-based AR system reported higher cognitive load regarding time pressure compared to the visual-based group. The findings contribute to developing efficient, user-friendly BFSE systems and understanding AR interaction modes, further validating the role of audiovisual-based AR interactions in improving facility management efficiency as well as building inspection and maintenance.
