WHAT ARE TACTILE INDICATORS?
Tactile Indicators are products made from various materials installed into the ground consisting of a series of raised studs or bars. They are installed in the form of laid paving units, individual mushroom shaped studs drilled and fixed into the ground or mats glued to the ground surface.
WHAT ARE TACTILE INDICATORS USED FOR?
The purpose of Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSI) is to give pedestrians who are blind, or who have vision impairment warning ofhazards and directional information to aid navigation of the urban environment.
This is achieved by aligning the raised stud or bar pattern of the Tactile Indicators on the ground surface, enabling blind pedestrians to feel the textural changes through their feet or with a cane. Pedestrians with limited vision use the colour contrast between the Tactile Indicators and ground surface to detect the modules visually. TGSI are predominantly
used to lead pedestrians to and identify public access facilities such as intersection kerb ramps, pedestrian crossings, stairs, lifts, ramps and escalators. They are also used at public transport facilities to alert pedestrians to platform edges at train stations, bus and tram stop
areas and ferry wharvs. In addition in assisting with orientation, Tactile Indicators help provide safe, dignified & independent access to and with in the community.
