Abstract:

There are approximately 2 million adults with reported vision loss in the United States. Independent travel and active interactions with the surrounding environment present significant daily challenges for these individuals, ultimately reducing quality of life and compromising safety. To begin to address these challenges, the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program funded three research projects to examine new technology solutions for wayfinding and navigation guidance for people with vision impairment and other disabilities.
