摘要

People with vision impairment generally have difficulty crossing intersections due to lack ofrntraffic information. The most difficult intersection crossing tasks for this population are locatingrnthe crosswalk, determining when to cross, and maintaining alignment to the crosswalk whilerncrossing. Through our ongoing effort to develop a prototype Mobile Accessible PedestrianrnSignal (MAPS) application for the blind and visually impaired, we interviewed ten blind andrnlow-vision people to better understand the type of information they use at intersection crossingsrnand identified information types that could assist them. With these survey results, a prototypernMAPS is developed that provides signal and intersection geometry information to Smartphonernusers at signalized intersections. User interaction is via simple tactile input (single/double-tap)rnand Text-To-Speech (TTS) interface are used for feedback. In the future, intersections equippedrnwith Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) will advance the capabilities of MAPS tornnext level of mobility and safety applications for people with vision impairment. MAPS can takernadvantage of the low-latency capability of DSRC to coordinate cooperative communicationrnamong pedestrians (waiting at the crossing), traffic signal controllers, and approaching vehicles,rnthereby providing dynamic decision-making support to all travelers, not just the visuallyrnimpaired.
