An Integrating Framework for Electronic Aids to Support Journeys by Visually Impaired People

A framework for integrating current and future mobility devices into a system to support navigation around an urban environment by a visually impaired traveller is presented, based on a detailed analysis of the travel task. An executable model of the framework is discussed, and progress in validating the model’s behaviour is presented. Implementation options are also briefly considered.
