Abstract:The Remote Infrared Audible Sign Model Accessibility Program (RIAS MAP) is a program funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to evaluate the effectiveness of remote infrared audible sign systems in enabling persons with visual and cognitive disabilities to travel independently. The subject for this report is the continuation of this evaluation through using a more comprehensive, multi-modal public transportation environment for measuring effectiveness. The wayfinding product evaluated is the RIAS technology with the registered trade name Talking Signs (Talking Signs, Inc.). There are two main goals for this project: 1) Measure the effectiveness of the Sound Transit RIAS system by using persons with visual or cognitive disabilities to test the installed system and provide feedback, as well as by observing the testers’ ability to use the system during structured testing, and 2) Measure cost implications for future expansion of the RIAS system for both Sound Transit and other regional public transit agencies.
