16、iv ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 19028:2016ISO 19028:2016(E)IntroductionAs the number of older population and social participation of persons with disabilities is increasing, the improvement of the social infrastructure for these people is an urgent issue. Devices for mobility assistance to fac
17、ilitate social participation of persons with seeing impairment and blindness have rapidly disseminated. Among others, a tactile guide map is a convenient tool for providing location information which is necessary for mobility of such people. Although the number of their installation has steadily inc
18、reased, it has become obvious that, in the meantime, inappropriate or misleading tactile guide maps have been increasing, which has caused the users a big problem. To solve the problem, this International Standard provides the principal and standardized specifications concerning information contents
19、, figuration and display methods of tactile guide maps. ISO 2016 All rights reserved vBS ISO 19028:2016BS ISO 19028:2016Accessible design Information contents, figuration and display methods of tactile guide maps1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies information contents, figuration and displa

31、commentary;A commentary can be omitted when a tactile guide map does not need any description of the content. For a tactile map in a booklet form, a commentary may be placed separately.c) legend;A legend can be omitted if a tactile guide map only contains common and easily recognizable tactile marks
32、 without need of explanation and does not use abbreviations in braille and raised characters.d) tactile figures;2 ISO 2016 All rights reservedBS ISO 19028:2016ISO 19028:2016(E)e) other information contents:1) scale;When appropriate, to facilitate navigation, a scale to indicate distances in the map
33、should be added.2) north direction.When appropriate, north direction should be indicated.4.2 Principles for information contents4.2.1 Tactile guide map shall be confined to the minimum information required to grasp the locality and/or path of travel.The amount of information given in a tactile guide
34、 map will largely be determined by the purpose of the tactile map. The information given differs whether the map is for indicating a route of travel or to give an overview of an area. All information that does not serve the intended purpose of the tactile guide map shall be omitted.EXAMPLE The infor
35、mation of the number of steps in each stairway is often given in the “orientation and mobility maps”, which are specialized for training of the persons with seeing impairment and blindness, while in the common tactile maps, such information is usually omitted.4.2.2 When selecting information to be d
36、isplayed on the map, the contents which support safe and smooth movements of persons with seeing impairment and blindness shall be prioritized.4.2.3 Tactile readability shall be considered of prior consideration.The tactile readability of tactile information in guide maps is influenced by a variety
37、of factors, which shall be considered in their mutual interdependence, which, in turn, will widely influence the selection, size and shape of tactile figures and marks.When a visual guide map displaying the identical range to a tactile guide map is available, the maps shall maintain mutual consisten
38、cy, though the amount of information may be different.4.2.4 All types of tactile marks (whether tactile figures or lettering) contained in a tactile guide map shall be easily identifiable and be explained in the legend or by lettering in the respective area of the map.4.2.5 Pictograms commonly used
39、for sighted people in technical drawings or in wayfinding signage shall be avoided because they are too complicated and finely structured to be read by finger touch.4.2.6 Printed characters may be also used along with tactile figures on a tactile guide map.4.2.7 Instead of lettering points of instal
40、led guide maps, electronic tags giving out audio information about the particular points in the map can be used.4.2.8 The date of production and the contact information should be displayed.5 Figuration of tactile guide maps5.1 DimensionsThe physical size of a tactile guide map shall correlate with t
41、he amount of information required for the purpose to be achieved by the tactile guide map in relation to the size of the location or area to be depicted in the map. ISO 2016 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 19028:2016ISO 19028:2016(E)The size of an installed tactile guide map should be within 600 mm in g
42、rip distance for desk installation (see Figure 1) and for wall installation (see Figure 2). When a tactile guide map is prepared in a booklet form, extra attention should be paid so that the folds do not hinder tactile reading.5.2 Location of installed tactile guide mapsFor a tactile guide map insta
43、lled on the wall, which is perpendicular to the floor, the centre line height should be preferably 1 400 mm from the floor level.These dimensions do not apply to guide maps which are set horizontally to the floor or inclined to angles close to horizontal installation (see Figure 1). In either case,
44、a location that does not hinder tactile readability shall be chosen.The clearance of the lowest part of the desk installation shall be 900 mm to enable wheelchair users to access. See ISO 21542:2011, 40.14.Great care shall be taken to ensure that people with seeing impairment and blindness can find
45、the installed tactile guide maps, e.g. by using tactile walking surface indicator (TWSIs) or similarly appropriate tactile guidance and/or audio guidance to lead them there or by installing floor plans at fixed places next to elevators, stairs, etc.aWithin 600 mm.b900 mm.cApproximately 1 000 mm.Figu
46、re 1 Examples of figurations of desk installation typeWhen deciding the height of installation, the target group for a particular map should be taken in consideration, which may lead to other decisions concerning installation height of the map (e.g. when the target group are children).4 ISO 2016 All

48、ide map, marks of directional reference and present location indicated in a tactile guide map shall strictly comply with the actual directions and present location in the place where the map is to be installed. For example, locations of a particular office depicted in the map to the right-hand side
49、in a building shall be found on the right-hand side of the actual building.NOTE When tactile guide maps are placed at an angle (e.g. 180 or any other angle to the actual directions), blind people face problems since they cannot see other landmarks as, e.g. flights of stairs, lifts, etc., which would enable them to adjust the faulty direction given in the map. Some people have difficulties in turning the map round in the mind.5.3.2 Tactile guide maps for installation shall be placed in the way that a user can read the lettering and tacti
