DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will develop and qualify a new assistive technology to aid persons who are blind. The Emergency Egress Locator (EEL) will provide guidance to exits under emergency conditions. The illumination from ordinary exit signs will be modulated to carry the guidance information while still being totally visable and functional as an exit sign. Persons who are blind will carry or wear a receiver which processes the optical signal from the exit sign and provides audio guidance to the person who is blind. EEL will be inexpensive and easy to implement because it will use existing exit signs. EEL will be demonstrated and evaluated with blind travelers. Its assistive capability and comparison with other assistive technologies will be quantitatively measured. Products developed will include a ballast to provide EEL capability to exit signs and a receiver to provide emergency information to users who are blind.

描述(由申请人提供)：该项目将开发和资格的新辅助技术，以帮助盲人。紧急出口定位器(EEL)将为紧急情况下的出口提供指导。普通出口标志的照明将被调制以携带引导信息，同时仍具有完全可视和作为出口标志的功能。盲人将携带或佩戴接收器，接收器处理来自出口标志的光信号，并为盲人提供音频引导。鳗鱼将使用现有的出口标志，因此价格低廉，易于实施。鳗鱼将在盲人旅行者中进行演示和评估。它的辅助能力以及与其他辅助技术的比较将被量化衡量。开发的产品将包括一个镇流器，提供鳗鱼出口标志的能力，以及一个接收器，为盲人用户提供紧急信息。
