New research reveals how different tactile walking surface indicators (TWSIs) can be used in complex transportation settings where other cues may be inconsistent, confusing, misleading, or missing to provide wayfinding information to people who are blind or visually impaired. TRB will host a webinar that will discuss the requirements for successful tactile wayfinding. Presenters will review the results of three experiments on detectability, discriminability, and application of TWSIs along with guidelines for planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining TWSIs in different transportation settings.
This webinar is based on TCRP Research Report 248: Tactile Wayfinding in Transportation Settings for Travelers Who are Blind or Visually Impaired.
There is no fee to attend this webinar. Registration is required.
