Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the issues and needs that visually impaired persons feel on a daily basis at signalized intersections. And then we evaluated a visually impaired persons' support system utilizing the visible light communication (VLC) technology that was developed in order to solve the problems by using the experiment and the questionnaire. As a result, it was shown that the guidance of VLC system enables them to cross safely and comfortably at signalized intersection. Therefore, it can be said that the potential of VLC system to support visually impaired persons' crossing at signalized intersection is sufficiently high.
