公共交通是许多盲人独立的关键，但尽管辅助技术最近取得了进步，但对盲人来说，公共交通仍然具有挑战性。为此，作者开发了一个原型移动应用程序，通过安装在公交车上和公交车站的Wi-Fi接入点来交流信息，以帮助盲人公交车乘客到达目的地。对该系统的用户研究为盲人公共交通乘客的一般无障碍问题以及改进拟议系统的方法提供了见解。
Public transit is the key to independence for many blind persons but, despite recent progress in assistive technology, remains challenging for those without sight. To this end, the authors developed a prototype mobile application that communicates information via Wi-Fi access points installed in buses and at bus stops to help blind bus passengers reach their destination. A user study of the system yielded insights into general accessibility issues for blind public transit riders as well as ways to improve the proposed system.
