The Cost of Knowing: How Obstacle Alerts Reduce Walking Speeds of Augmented White Cane Users
نویسندگان
چکیده
To ensure safe passage blind travellers utilize mobility aids such as the white cane to preview space their body will move through. Augmented canes (AWC) have increased this range reduce collisions, but consequently incurred lower walking speeds. The literature has blamed slowdown on AWC provided alerts that are additional feedback, unnecessary, too complex, and anticipatory of users. Two within-subject studies with six visually impaired ten blindfolded people compared two different types (See Figure 1) combined ranges investigate causes slowdowns. cognitive cost from processing unnecessary complexity slowed users down should be kept a minimum they neither helped collisions nor physically detecting obstacles cane.

The metabolic cost of changing speeds is significant and may affect preferred walking speeds
In daily life, people seldom walk at exactly constant speeds. Most walking over a day is performed in short bouts [1]. Thus, it is of interest to measure the cost of changing speed. Minetti and co-workers [3] measured the cost of changing speeds but with non-inertial treadmill speed changes or stepfrequency control. Here, we measure the metabolic cost of changing speeds to better quantify the r...
