项目摘要

The research comprised of three objectives. The first objective was to improve the durability of tactile guidance surfaces of truncated domes and to determine the height at which these surfaces need to be repaired. Three types of tactile guidance surfaces, all made from a polyurethane resin, with different hardness levels were installed on crosswalks in Matsuyama, the capital city of Ehime Prefecture. Longitudinal and repetitive measurements of the dome height suggested that the surfaces were more durable with decreasing hardness. This result was considered to be due to the fact that surfaces with lower hardness levels have higher elasticity, and thus can absorb forces from rolling tires of vehicles more effectively. The limit of detection by foot was 2 mm, suggesting that tactile guidance surfaces should be repaired prior to reaching this height.The second objective was to improve the accessibility of rotary intersections for visually impaired pedestrians. The rotary intersection in f … More ront of Mitaka station was redesigned due to poor performance results of independent crossing by visually impaired subjects in a previous field experiment. The crosswalk was reconstructed perpendicularly to the curb and new Braille tiles were installed on the sidewalk. A recent field experiment showed that the performance results of independent crossing were significantly improved.The third objective was to investigate whether the subsidiary task technique can be used to measure the psychological stress of visually impaired pedestrians. On-site testing was performed in-cooperation with a rehabilitation center in Ehime Prefecture. Trainees participating in the orientation and mobility training program were instructed to perform a subsidiary task while crossing a street independently. The subsidiary task involved pushing a hand-held switch every second at regular intervals. The trainees' performance on the subsidiary task while crossing improved as the training program progressed. The results indicated that it was possible to measure the psychological stress of visually impaired pedestrian using the subsidiary task technique. Less

研究包括三个目标。第一个目标是提高截顶圆顶的触觉引导表面的耐久性，并确定这些表面需要修复的高度。在爱媛县首府松山的人行横道上安装了三种类型的触觉引导表面，它们都是由聚氨酯树脂制成的，具有不同的硬度水平。圆顶高度的纵向和重复测量表明，随着硬度的降低，表面更耐用。这一结果被认为是由于硬度水平较低的表面具有较高的弹性，因此可以更有效地吸收来自车辆滚动轮胎的力。通过脚的检测极限为2 mm，这表明触觉引导表面应在达到此高度之前进行修复。第二个目标是改善视障行人的旋转交叉口的可达性。f中的旋转交集 ...更多信息由于在先前的现场实验中视力受损的受试者独立穿越的表现不佳，重新设计了Mitaka站的前部。人行横道被重建为垂直于路边，人行道上安装了新的盲文瓷砖。最近的一项现场实验表明，独立过街的表现结果得到了显著改善。第三个目的是探讨辅助任务技术是否可以用于测量视障行人的心理压力。与爱媛县的康复中心合作进行现场测试。参加定向和机动性训练计划的受训者被要求在独立过街时执行一项辅助任务。辅助任务包括每秒按一次手持开关。随着训练计划的进行，受训者在穿越时的辅助任务表现有所改善。结果表明，辅助任务技术可以用于测量视障行人的心理压力。少
