Continuity of Tactile Walking Surface Indicators and Audible Pedestrian Signals at Crosswalks

View through CrossRef
Crossing an intersection is one of the most risky actions for a visually impaired person. A visually impaired pedestrian is guided to the crosswalk entrance by the tactile walking surface indicators “TWSIs”. It is then important that he/she safely and smoothly cross the intersection using the audible pedestrian signal. However, neither connectivity nor the continuity between the TWSIs and the audible pedestrian signal travel support systems has been verified. The purpose of this research is to verify this connectivity and continuity. It should be possible to acquire basic scientific data for developing guidelines from the findings of this research.
