New research reveals how different tactile walking surface indicators (TWSIs) can be used in complex transportation settings where other cues may be inconsistent, confusing, misleading, or missing to provide wayfinding information to people who are blind or visually impaired. This webinar will discuss the requirements for successful tactile wayfinding.

This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program and the Standing Technical Committees on Accessible Transportation and Mobility and Pedestrians.

There is no fee to attend this webinar. Registration is required.

A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
