| Research Abstract |
For wheelchair users, there are many barriers in pedestrian area such as gradients of pavement, differences in level and crossfalls of pavement, etc. Therefore, smoothness of traffic environment for wheelchairs should be evaluated on the route which holds those many barriers. For the visually impaired, existence of sidewalks, signalized crossing, another pedestrian as a potential assistant etc. have influences on the route smoothness for them..
The purpose of the present paper is to propose a method to evaluate the smoothness of traffic environment for wheelchairs and the visually impaired. The weighted values of those barriers were calculated by means of analytic hierarchy process. The model was tested by the degree of consistency between estimated value and the disabled persons' evaluation on smoothness of traffic environment. Smothness of possoble routes on any two points can caluclated by this model. And the recommended route could be visually indicated by gis system/
