Research Abstract

In order to fulfill the social requirements for the realization of barrier-free traveling environments for people with impaired vision, we need to develop the system that assists the process of collecting the information of orientation as well as to reconstruct facilities fit for their accessibility. The purpose of this study is to provide basic findings for actual resolutions of the communication, such as voice navigation systems and develop the sample system.
We conducted the studies as follows ;
1. Evaluation of various adaptive technologies for traveling of people with impaired vision.
2. Analysis of spatial representation of people with impaired vision.
3. Research of the actual state of barrier-free traveling environments at railway stations in Japan.
4. Development of the Auditory Map System.
