Abstract
In order to have the high recognition without being affected by the generic-flooring for vision-impaired pedestrians in public space, the construction of tactile indicators was discussed. The sensory test by 12 vision-impaired persons was carried out. The result shows that setting up the intermediate-flooring between tactile indicator and generic-flooring improve the recognition. And a higher contrast between generic and intermediate flooring or tactile indicators and intermediate-flooring shows higher improvement of recognition. When contrast is 2.7 or higher, recognition improvement effect is evident at 5cm of intermediate-flooring and this effect increase with the proportions of width.
