Make evacuation shelters barrier-free! Create spaces that are easy for carts to pass through.
Guiding Mat for Visually Impaired "Bodō-kun Guideway"
Enabling independent walking for visually impaired individuals in evacuation shelters! A guiding path that is easy for carts to pass through, providing peace of mind even when support staff are unavailable.
How is support for visually impaired individuals in evacuation shelters expected to be provided? It is often assumed that operational staff will accompany them during movement and guide them to their destinations, such as restrooms. While this is very helpful, some individuals may feel reluctant to call for assistance every time they need to use the restroom and may hold back from going at their desired times. There may also be times when the operational staff are short-handed and cannot accompany everyone each time. In such cases, having a guiding path that allows visually impaired individuals to reach their destinations independently would be convenient. The guiding mat "Hodokun Guideway" can be easily installed retroactively in places where guidance is needed and can be used temporarily in evacuation shelters. It does not require extensive construction and can be adhered with double-sided tape, allowing for changes in the guiding route. It can be installed on various floor tiles, such as gymnasium floors and carpet tiles. It minimizes sound reverberation, allowing for quiet movement even at night. Additionally, the product's outer edge has a sloped shape, preventing rattling when transporting support supplies with a cart. It can be easily applied and removed, making it possible to store as equipment in the evacuation shelter. It can also be utilized for temporary use at events or for experiential learning to deepen understanding of disabilities.
