Help visually impaired people better find the crossing
Accessible pedestrian signals aren't only about conveying WALK or DON'T WALK signals. Our APS enables blind and visually impaired pedestrians to easily locate the crosswalk.
That's how they can cross the street with complete autonomy. So make sure to improve their crossing with accessible pedestrian signals that meet their needs.
Provide blind and visually impaired pedestrians with a reliable landmark
To cross the street, you first need to reach the beginning of the crosswalk. This can be difficult for a visually impaired person. But by remotely activating accessible pedestrian signals, they can find their bearings thanks to their audio message and locate the tactile paving set up in front of the crosswalk.
They represent a landmark for them. No more stress, they know they can rely on an effective solution.
What is aBeacon?
aBeacon is an innovative and more connected accessible pedestrian signal. It helps people with vision disabilities cross the street. Its audible cues give them information about the pedestrian phase like regular APS.
But it provides on demand and remote activation so that visually impaired pedestrians can activate it when they're near the crosswalk. No need to ask other pedestrians where the crosswalk is located.
Our APS can be activated with a remote control or with a free smartphone app.
