DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will develop and qualify a new assistive technology to aid persons who are blind. The Emergency Egress Locator (EEL) will provide guidance to exits under emergency conditions. The illumination from ordinary exit signs will be modulated to carry the guidance information while still being totally visable and functional as an exit sign. Persons who are blind will carry or wear a receiver which processes the optical signal from the exit sign and provides audio guidance to the person who is blind. EEL will be inexpensive and easy to implement because it will use existing exit signs. EEL will be demonstrated and evaluated with blind travelers. Its assistive capability and comparison with other assistive technologies will be quantitatively measured. Products developed will include a ballast to provide EEL capability to exit signs and a receiver to provide emergency information to users who are blind.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将开发并符合新的辅助技术，以帮助盲人的人。紧急出口定位器（EEL）将为紧急情况下的退出提供指导。普通出口标志的照明将被调制以携带指导信息，同时仍被完全可见且功能可作为退出标志。盲人的人会携带或佩戴接收器，该接收器从出口标志中处理光学信号，并为盲人提供音频指导。 EEL将廉价且易于实现，因为它将使用现有的出口标志。鳗鱼将与盲人一起证明和评估。它将定量测量其辅助能力和与其他辅助技术的比较。开发的产品将包括一个镇流器，以提供EEL能力以退出标志和接收器，以向盲人用户提供紧急信息。
