Abstract

As part of a larger field experiment using remote infrared audible signage, 30 participants who were legally blind provided data about their current travel behavior and activities, the number and types of additional trips they desired to make, and what trips they would make if more environmental cues were available. The results showed a large demand for participation in activities and travel that is not being met, but would be if relevant information was available.
