The first step towards providing people with disabilities access to the wilderness is to provide accurate information on the degree of accessibility of the environment. Existing trail grading systems do not provide persons with mobility and visual limitations the access information needed. The objectives of Phase I of the research project were successfully accomplished: a trail assessment procedure was developed and used to assess 12 trails; reliability of the methodology was verified; objective information was coded into trail guides with universal access information; and the effectiveness and usefulness of the trail guides was validated. The objectives of Phase II are: to refine the trail guides developed in Phase I; to conduct field testing and user evaluation of the trail guides to optimize the form of presentation; to create trail guides using the trail data collected by trail assessment coordinators representing 5 national agencies; and to validate the training assessment and mapping system. These unique trail guides will enable all outdoor enthusiasts to make informed decisions about which trails to use for recreational activities. Trail data will also be incorporated into trail sign age and used by trail managers to identify areas that can be modified to increase the accessibility of trails.

为残疾人士提供无障碍服务的第一步 荒野的目的是提供准确的荒野程度信息 环境的可达性。现有的步道分级系统不 为行动不便和视力受限的人员提供通道 需要的信息。研究项目第一阶段的目标是 成功完成：开发了试验评估程序并 用于评估 12 条路线；验证了方法的可靠性； 客观信息被编码到可普遍访问的路线指南中 信息;路线指南的有效性和实用性 已验证。第二阶段的目标是：完善路线指南 第一阶段开发；进行现场测试和用户评估 跟踪指南以优化演示形式；创建路线指南 使用路线评估协调员收集的路线数据 代表 5 个国家机构；并验证培训评估 和地图系统。这些独特的步道指南将使所有户外活动 爱好者可以就使用哪些步道做出明智的决定 娱乐活动。轨迹数据也将被纳入轨迹 标记年龄并由步道管理者用来识别可以修改的区域 以增加步道的可达性。
