The visual navigation marks are established purposely,which transfer information to the trained observer in order to navigate.The visual aids to navigation in freshwater could give aid to navigation.In addition,through its basic shape,appearance forms and colors,the landscape of navigation waterway is also displayed.The aids to navigation together with channel revetment and other surrounding landscape elements determine the landscape effect of the navigation waterway.Through analyzing the design of aids to navigation features,the design impact factors,the landscape design principles and methods of treatment are proposed in this research,in order to provide some references for the design of future visual aids to navigation.
