This book was released on 2005 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 2000, the Northern Virginia District of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) received a request from a visually impaired citizen to install accessible pedestrian signals (APS) at an intersection in Falls Church. Since there were no national or state guidelines for this type of installation, the district was asked to install APS at an intersection in a pilot effort and to develop appropriate guidelines that VDOT could use statewide for future installations. The Virginia Transportation Research Council was asked to assist in developing the guidelines. Further, a committee composed of representatives from VDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, the Virginia Department for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and the blind and visually impaired community (formal organizations and individual citizen activists) was established to provide overall guidance and advice. A Phase I report documented the initial efforts to develop the guidelines and described the following sections of the guidelines: (1) a procedure for requesting APS, (2) the basic requirements for retrofitting, (3) an intersection evaluation methodology, and (4) a funding process. In addition, the report recommended that the procedures in these four sections be piloted by using them to identify other appropriate intersections at which different types of APS equipment could be installed. This Phase II report describes the results of the pilot with regard to the first four sections of the guidelines and the development of the final two sections of the guidelines: the basic statewide specifications for APS equipment, and the installation procedures. The final guidelines for installing APS at an existing intersection are included in an appendix.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The priority accessible network for any city consists of a number of fully accessible pedestrian routes connected together into a continuous system which is gradually expanded according to a plan. Each route is made accessible and added to the accessible system according to priorities set out in the plan. Accessibility is achieved by the use of the appropriate countermeasure might be the addition of a curb ramp a street intersection. In practice, the routes serve elderly and handicapped pedestrians within districts; and routes connect districts to each other. The Manual has been organized into a sequence of decision-making steps beginning with problem identification and ending with project implementation and evaluation.

Download or read book Advances in Usability and User Experience written by Tareq Ahram and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 982 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on emerging issues in usability, interface design, human–computer interaction, user experience and assistive technology. It highlights research aimed at understanding human interaction with products, services and systems, and focuses on finding effective approaches for improving user experience. It also discusses key issues in designing and providing assistive devices and services to individuals with disabilities or impairment, to assist mobility, communication, positioning, environmental control and daily living. The book covers modelling as well as innovative design concepts, with a special emphasis on user-centered design, and design for specific populations, particularly the elderly. Virtual reality, digital environments, heuristic evaluation and forms of device interface feedback of (e.g. visual and haptic) are also among the topics covered. Based on the both the AHFE 2019 Conference on Usability & User Experience and the AHFE 2019 Conference on Human Factors and Assistive Technology, held on July 24-28, 2019, Washington D.C., USA, this book reports on cutting-edge findings, research methods and user-centred evaluation approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on how sidewalks and trails can be made accessible and usable by the widest possible segment of the population. Sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, a project to research existing conditions on sidewalks and trails for people with disabilities was designed in two parts. Part I, covers literature surveys, site surveys and interviews along with the history of accessibility legislation, travel characteristics of the disabled and engineering and construction design practices. Part II provides data on implementing the requirements of parts of two acts, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Download or read book Advances in Computer Vision written by Kohei Arai and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics in the areas of Computer Vision, both from theoretical and application perspectives. It gathers the proceedings of the Computer Vision Conference (CVC 2019), held in Las Vegas, USA from May 2 to 3, 2019. The conference attracted a total of 371 submissions from pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students all around the world. These submissions underwent a double-blind peer review process, after which 118 (including 7 poster papers) were selected for inclusion in these proceedings. The book’s goal is to reflect the intellectual breadth and depth of current research on computer vision, from classical to intelligent scope. Accordingly, its respective chapters address state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems, while also outlining future research directions. Topic areas covered include Machine Vision and Learning, Data Science, Image Processing, Deep Learning, and Computer Vision Applications.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late 2000, the Northern Virginia District of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) received a request from a visually impaired citizen to install accessible pedestrian signals (APS) at an intersection in Falls Church. Since there were no national or state guidelines for this type of installation, the district was requested to install APS at an intersection as a pilot and develop appropriate guidelines that could be used statewide by VDOT for future installations. The Virginia Transportation Research Council was asked to assist in developing the guidelines. Further, a committee composed of representatives from VDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, the Virginia Department for the Blind and Visually Impaired, and the blind/visually impaired community (both formal organizations and individual citizen activists) was established to provide overall guidance and advice. The guidelines will be applicable to retrofit installations and will ultimately include the following sections: (1) a procedure for requesting APS, (2) the basic requirements for retrofit, (3) an intersection evaluation methodology, (4) a funding process, (5) the basic specifications for APS equipment to be used statewide, and (6) installation guidance. As of April 2003, the first four of these sections were finalized. The aforementioned committee recommended that VDOT undertake a 2-year pilot to field test the application of these four sections while the evaluation of the piloted equipment was being completed and the final two sections were being developed. This Phase I report describes the background for the pilot project, its purpose and scope, the methods undertaken, and the results to date that led to the recommendation for the 2-year pilot. Specifically, the report includes details on the following: 1. Results of a survey of VDOT's district traffic engineers. No APS have been installed at VDOT-maintained intersections and only a handful of cities have installed them. 2. Results of a review of the literature. The APS guidelines from the Committee for the Removal of Architectural Barriers; the Los Angeles Department of Transportation; Fountain Valley, California; and Portland, Oregon, are described. 3. Timeline of key events in the development of the guidelines. The timeline focuses on the committee's review and role and traces the drafting of the 10 iterations before the final guidelines were accepted and approved. 4. Outline of the guidelines. A final outline of the guidelines is provided, and Sections I through IV are presented in an appendix. Forms for requesting an APS retrofit and for evaluating intersections are also included in appendices. The report concludes with a discussion of the next steps, or tasks, that are required to complete the guidelines.
