- for traffic area design
Description:
Tactile orientation aids enable blind and visually impaired people to find their way more easily in road traffic.
Plates with a grooved or knobbed structure are used in the form of attention fields, boundary or protective strips and guidance directions at, for example, bus stops, railroad crossings, crosswalks or at level changes in road traffic, but also in public buildings and facilities. Panels with a waffle structure as a surface perform the same task as a studded structure. With these plates it is necessary that the fields stand out clearly from the surrounding floor covering and that the structure can be felt by a long stick or also by the feet. On one or both sides next to the guidance systems, companion strips should be positioned with a flat, low-joint surface that contrasts with the studded or grooved panels in terms of color and structure. These serve to better distinguish the guidance system from the normal road surface.
Material:
For easier acoustic differentiation, the studded and grooved slabs are made of fiber concrete on core concrete, so that a change in the pavement can also be perceived through an acoustic change.
Due to a good color and luminance contrast, the tactile floor panels are also easier to recognize and distinguish for the visually impaired.
Application example:
Floor panels with groove structure are used for guide strips or also for catch strips. When used as a guide strip system, the user is guided in a targeted manner from the starting point to the specified end point on the basis of a continuous, linear structure
. The use of this guidance system is particularly useful
- for guidance in unclear or busy areas
- for guidance from one building to another
- from the building entrance to an information stand.
As a catch strip, it connects parallel guiding strips to
- draw attention to the end of guiding strips at the platform or stop end
- draw attention to entrances or exits with level changes that are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the platforms / stops.
While the floor information with groove structure guides users, for example, to a building,
floor information with nub structure in the form of attention fields points out forks in the road or danger areas.
