Abstract
In this research, the luminescence block for the crosswalk entrance where the LED was buried under the road was developed. This luminescence block is the one setting it up on the attention rousing block edge at the crosswalk entrance. The detection time and the direction presentation performance at the crosswalk entrance by the presence of this luminescence block were evaluated by the testee experiment. For the low vision person, it can be said that a significant difference can be statistically confirmed, and the luminescence block is effective to the direction localization. Moreover, when they locate in the luminescence block, the location time can be located in a short time. However, it has been understood that the direction localization of the luminescence block has the direction localization accuracy same as the case where the direction is localized with the tactile walking surface indicator.
