Wayfinding system, by Lysoglup.dk
Simple alterations are often sufficient to considerably improve functionality. In addition, these alterations themselves can often be used by us all.
Our Motto is therefore: Design For All
To ensure Design for all, Lysoglup provides to your benefit:
· advice on the equipping of (new) buildings and public spaces
· a layout plan according to checklist procedures by Lysoglup
· design + AutoCad for access and guidance routes
· feedback via a helpdesk to local representatives
· training on the use of guidance facilities from a technical, functional and aesthetic point of view
· cooperation with and integration of RFID systems / GPS suppliers in TG products
· building supervision for access issues
· liaison between architect’s firms, suppliers and clients
· the supply of materials for guidance facilities for the visually impaired
· the supply and installation of guidance provisions for the visually impaired.
Key points for your interest:
Multifunctional
guidance routes usable by everyone; “Design for All”
Simple
easy to integrate in an existing situation while respecting the surroundings
Recognisablethe
routing always has the same design, in indoor and outdoor situations
Practical
can be applied on any hard substrate; very wear- resistant therefore requiring minimum maintenance
Aesthetic
an attractive, elegant solution that guarantees users a high degree of independence and self-reliance ‘pleasing the eye’;
Anti-slip effect
generates no nuisance; indeed, following the route provides security.
value visually, before they reach it, in relation to a guide path and the surrounding substrate. To achieve a permanent reflective effect, dirt cannot be permitted to adhere to the surface. A reflection difference on the ground has a higher noticeability factor for the visually impaired, than a colour difference. A colour contrast is soon reduced due to wear, dirt and the effects of UV, as a result of which black becomes grey; the same also applies for other colours, like white and yellow!

Only if the (sound tile) marking makes a different and louder noise when tapped with the cane as compared with the guide path and the surrounding substrate, is the marking already perceived before the cane user (blind person) reaches the marking. After all, the user feels and hears the marking before standing on it.
Summary:
In outdoor situations and in public transport areas, only four types of provision should be installed, which can be used in a physical manner, and possibly relying on any remaining vision:
the guide path with narrow ridges in a contrasting colour, if a natural guidance line is absent;
the warning marking, with a combined anti-slip dome surface in a light, reflective colour with sound effect;
the attention marking which draws attention to something specific, with an anti-slip profile in a dark reflective colour with sound effect;
the decision point indicator in the form of an unprofiled square area of at least 60 x 60 cm.
The future – electronic information
Without the capacity for visual perception of the surroundings, finding your way demands a great deal of concentration. Electronic information delivered unsolicited can disrupt concentration. However, a personal navigation and information system that ties in with a system of guide paths and markings that can be used physically, that issues information on demand, is clearly the way forward. Much work is being done on such a system, and in the future, could easily be integrated in our already installed systems.
