Effects of Picture Prompts Delivered by a Video iPod on Pedestrian Navigation
نویسنده
چکیده
r: Transportation access is a major contributor to independence, productivity, and societal inclusion for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This study examined tbe effects of pedestrian navigation training using picture prompts displayed througb a video . iPod on travel route completion witb 4 adults witb IDD. Results indicated a functional relation between picture prompts on tbe video iPod and pedestrian navigation skills to and from various locations. Maintenance data indicated all participants continued navigating trained routes for up to 232 days using the video iPod. Generalization measures to untrained routes were positive. Social validity data suggested iPod training was useful and practical for teaching independent pedestrian navigation skills. Last, limitations, suggestions for future research, and implications for practice

متن کاملSimulation of Pedestrian Dynamics with Macroscopic and Microscopic Mathematical Models
Here, we collect two parts of a research project on the pedestrian flow modeling. Rapid growth in the volume of public transport and the need for its reasonable, efficient planning have made the description and modeling of transport and pedestrian behaviors as important research topics in the past twenty years. First, we present a macroscopic model for the pedestrian flow based on continuum mec...
متن کاملRoute-following assistance for travelers with cognitive impairments: A comparison of four prompt modes
Navigational skills, which are fundamental to community travel and hence, personal independence, are often disrupted in people with cognitive impairments. Assistive technology, in the form of navigation devices, are being developed that can support community navigation by delivering directional information. Selecting an effective mode to provide route-prompts is a critical design issue. This st...
متن کاملPragmatic comprehension of apology, request and refusal: An investigation on the effect of consciousness-raising video-driven prompts
Recent research in interlanguage pragmatics (ILP) has substantiated that some aspects of pragmatics are amenable to instruction in the second or foreign language classroom. However, there are still controversies over the most conducive teaching approaches and the required materials. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relative effectiveness of conscio...
متن کاملEffects of pedestrian prompts on motorist yielding at crosswalks.
Pedestrian safety is a serious concern at busy intersections and pedestrian campuses across the nation. Although crosswalks and signs inform pedestrians where to cross, there is no standard protocol for pedestrians to signal drivers that they wish to use the crosswalks, except to stand in or at the crosswalk. We examined the effects of two pedestrian prompts, a raised hand and extended arm, on ...
