| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tactile walking surface indicators (TWSIs) are installed on footpath to support independent travel for the blind. The attention pattern is usually installed at the crosswalk entrances. In this research, the direction indicating performance was compared at the same intervals for the five diameters specified by the international standard. As a result of the experiment, the diagonal array does not indicate the direction of travel, but the projection row does indicate the direction of travel in the parallel array. When the attention pattern is installed at a crosswalk entrance, a parallel array should be installed in the direction of the crossing.
