项目摘要

Tactile guiding lines (TGLs) developed in order to assist blind independent pedestrians in crossing intersections have come into widespread use in Japan. The TGLs are a kind of tactile marker placed on the asphalt pavement of a crosswalk. The aim of the study was to collect fundamental data concerning the specifications of TGLs. The findings of the research were as follows ;1)A field experiment was done to determine the optimum width of TGLs. Seventeen blindfolded sighted subjects were asked to walk along the TGLs with different widths, 30,40,50 and 60cm. Performance and impressions by the subjects suggested that the width of TGLs was necessary to be greater than 40cm.2)Longitudinal raised lines newly added to the TGL on pedestrian crossing were evaluated for their effects on detectability either by cane or foot. Eight blind persons participated in a field experiment. The results suggested that the longitudinal lines helped blind pedestrians to keep the direction of travel while they follow tactile guiding indicator on the pedestrian crosswalk.3)The effect of ambient sound conditions on the performance of blindfolded pedestrians to judge direction while walking in a straight line was tested. Experiments revealed that exposure to ambient sound had the effect of causing subjects to veer significantly from their paths in a direction that was opposite to the source of the sound. Veering from the path was directly proportional to intensity of the ambient sound.

为帮助盲人独立行人过十字路口而开发的触觉引导线(TGL)在日本得到了广泛应用。TGLS是一种放置在人行横道沥青路面上的触觉标志。这项研究的目的是收集关于TGLS规范的基本数据。研究结果如下：1)通过田间试验确定了TGLs的最佳宽度。17名蒙眼视力受试者被要求沿着30、40、50和60 cm不同宽度的TGL行走。受试者的表现和印象表明，TGL的宽度必须大于40厘米。2)评估在人行横道上新增加的TGL的纵向凸起线对手杖或步行检测的影响。八名盲人参加了一项实地实验。结果表明，当盲人行人在人行横道上跟随触觉引导指示器时，纵线有助于盲人行人保持行进方向。3)测试了环境声条件对蒙眼行人直线行走时判断方向的影响。实验表明，暴露在环境声音中会导致受试者明显偏离他们的路径，转向与声音来源相反的方向。偏离路径的方向与周围声音的强度成正比。
