Being a human, it is our responsibility to keep our fellows safe and
sound. We should promote the products that support safety. One of the
high-tech products that are an aid for the visually challenged people to
have a detectable underfoot while walking is Tactile Warning System.
These systems are like an alert for the people who need assistance and
for the ones who are normal and are walking ignorantly. Here are the
features of Tactile Warning System-
1. Installation- These systems are mostly required and are useful at the platforms and stairs of the railway station, reflecting pools and on restricted ramps.Besides, parking areas and pedestrian crossings are also facilitated with such a safe technology.
2. Spacing and sizes available- These systems are of maximum 2.4 inches of spaces and spacing between every adjustment is the minimum of 0.65 inches. Besides, the size is determined by the warning surface area which generally of 24 inches. The tactile warning system comprises of the tactile domes of radial, rectangular and square grid.
3. Types of tactile walking surface systems-
• For the new construction, the cast-in-place is the most suitable option as this surface remains in the fresh concrete before and after.
• The change in casting system is the one with two choices of replacement rest is similar to the cast in place.
• Radius systems warning surface is curved and is put in use around the corners. They are really easy to install and takes about ten minutes.
All in all, these tactile warning systems are beneficial for the challenged as well as normal ones.
