Abstract

When the person with visual impairment try to cross the road, there is some deviation from center line of crossing zone at the time of he/she arrived to the opposite end. This paper shows that the reason of this phenomenon is caused by two reasons. One is the misdirection at the time of the first step forward and the other is the veering tendency when walking on the crossing zone. And also this paper shows that the deviation from the centerline of crossing zone will be reduced by reducing initial misdirection at the time of the first step forward.
