1 Designing for the Visually Impaired Melanie White Janet M. Barlow Environmental Access Committee Orientation and Mobility Division Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired (AER) Texas ITE August 31, 2012
2 What is Orientation and Mobility? Orientation is knowing where you are in space and how to problem solve if you should get disoriented Mobility is physical skill of getting from Point A to Point B (visual skills and/or cane skills)
3 Orientation and Mobility Instruction Provided by Orientation and Mobility (O&M) Specialist Prepares a person who is blind or who has low vision to travel in a variety of environments independently assess new intersections plan new routes Instruction is not provided at every intersection a person may need to cross
4 Street crossing tasks Locate edge of the street Determine where to begin crossing (locate crosswalk) Establish crossing direction and alignment Determine traffic control Use pushbutton, if necessary Decide when to begin crossing Maintain alignment during crossing Monitor traffic during crossing Recognize end of crossing Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 4
5 Finding the street
6 Locating the street
7 Where s the Crosswalk?
8 Where s the pedestrian button?
9 There s the pole for the pedestrian button!
10 All I have to do is push it and get up to the crosswalk to cross!
11 Just one problem Poles with pedestrian buttons are not in the same place at every corner and so The search for the elusive pedestrian button begins resulting in.. Let the pole dance begin
12 4 3 2 Just one problem. 1
13 5 6
14 7
15
16 Nope, not this one
17 Or this one.
18
19
20 At last!!!
21 The button is pushed and I m in the crosswalk ready and...
22 Missed the ped phase, so back to the button
23 Ah SUCCESS!!!
24
25 So what can you do to make it easier? Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 25
26 Street crossing tasks Locate edge of the street Determine where to begin crossing (locate crosswalk) Establish crossing direction and alignment Determine traffic control Use pushbutton, if necessary Decide when to begin crossing Maintain alignment during crossing Monitor traffic during crossing Recognize end of crossing Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 26
27 Detectable warning = truncated domes Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 27
28 Detectable warnings to indicate edge of street Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 28
29 Also needed to indicate edges of medians or islands Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 29
30 Street crossing tasks Locate edge of the street Determine where to begin crossing (locate crosswalk) Establish crossing direction and alignment Determine traffic control Use pushbutton, if necessary Decide when to begin crossing Maintain alignment during crossing Monitor traffic during crossing Recognize end of crossing Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 30
31 Blind person may not cross at Adding planter strip could help crosswalk Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 31
32 Crosswalk offset from corner can be problematic for blind pedestrian Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 32
33 Street crossing tasks Locate edge of the street Determine where to begin crossing (locate crosswalk) Establish crossing direction and alignment Determine traffic control Use pushbutton, if necessary Decide when to begin crossing Maintain alignment during crossing Monitor traffic during crossing Recognize end of crossing Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 33
34 Pedestrian Pushbuttons Is there a pushbutton? Where is it? Have I found the pushbutton for the street I m crossing? Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 34
35 Well-located pushbutton Near crosswalk line furthest from center of the intersection Level clear space to reach pushbutton Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 35
36 Pushbutton not in accessible location Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 36
37 Features of new types of APS Speakers at the pushbutton Pushbutton locator tone Audible and vibrotactile Walk indications Tactile arrow Automatic volume adjustment + specific locations Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 37
38 Pushbutton-integrated APS Pushbutton locator tone during Don t WALK and Flashing DON T WALK Rapid tick WALK indication Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 38
39 APS Location is critical Provide information to the user through proximity to the departure point Signal can be quieter due to proximity Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 39
40 Installation example Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 40
41 Installation example - APS aligned with crosswalk lines Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 41
42 Street crossing tasks Locate edge of the street Determine where to begin crossing (locate crosswalk) Establish crossing direction and alignment Determine traffic control Use pushbutton, if necessary Decide when to begin crossing Maintain alignment during crossing Monitor traffic during crossing Recognize end of crossing Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 42
43 Beaconing APS Prototype system Quieter sounds from pushbutton on the departure curb + Louder beacon sounds at specific times from additional speaker at opposite end of crosswalk Accessible Design for the Blind, 8/31/2012, Slide 43
