  1. 1. Improving roundabouts for cyclists and visually impaired

    Författare :Lisa Sakshaug; Trafik och väg; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; accessibility; safety; visually impaired; cyclist; roundabout;

    Sammanfattning : Roundabouts are continuing to increase due to their high traffic safety, low delay times and their winning design. However, there are also problems related to roundabouts; the traffic safety for cyclists is unclear or even negative and there are reports of accessibility problems for people with visual impairment.

  3. 2. Design and Evaluation of 3D Multimodal Virtual Environments for Visually Impaired People

    Författare :Ying Ying Huang; Yngve Sundblad; Eva-Lotta Sallnäs; Charlotte Magnusson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multimodal interaction; 3D worlds; Haptics; Audio; Visually impaired users; Collaboration; Navigation; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Spatial information presented visually is not easily accessible to visually impairedusers. Current technologies, such as screen readers, cannot intuitively conveyspatial layout or structure. This lack of overview is an obstacle for a visuallyimpaired user, both when using the computer individually and when collaboratingwith other users. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Children with visual disorders : cognitive development, developmental disorders and consequences for treatment and counselling

    Författare :Ulla Ek; Michael Brambring; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; visually impaired; children; development; developmental disorders; assessment; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

    Sammanfattning : The causes of visual impairment and blindness has changed over the years, in Sweden and in other industrialised countries, giving rise to a new population of visually impaired children. Damages to the posterior visual pathway and the brain are now common causes of visual impairment. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Impacts of Intelligent Transportation Systems on Users' Mobility:  A Case Study Analysis

    Författare :Jana Sochor; Haris Koutsopoulos; Misse Wester; Karl Kottenhoff; András Várhelyi; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : People have many reasons to be mobile, from day-to-day activities involving work, studies, and family, to maintaining participation in society, health, and quality of life. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is increasingly being deployed in the transportation context to improve individuals' mobility; for example via information provision. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Design foundations for content-rich acoustic interfaces : Investigating audemes as referential non-speech audio cues

    Författare :Mexhid Ferati; USA Indiana University; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Datavetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : To access interactive systems, blind and visually impaired users can leverage their auditory senses by using non-speech sounds. The current structure of non-speech sounds, however, is geared toward conveying user interface operations (e.g., opening a file) rather than large theme-based information (e. LÄS MER
