| Summary, etc. |
People with visual impairment (PVI) in the Philippines have always been neglected<br/>whenever new transportation systems and infrastructure are made. This warrants better<br/>accommodations and services for PVI, especially regarding mobility. With the introduction<br/>of tactile pavement, a system of textured ground surface indicators is usually used to aid<br/>visually impaired pedestrians, and researchers aim to improve the experience of PVI and<br/>promote a PWD-friendly environment. The introduced glass fiber-reinforced concrete<br/><br/>tactile paving block (GFRC-TPB) was evaluated through survey, user-testing, and field-<br/>testing to assess its effectiveness in terms of its usability and integrity. Moreover, the<br/><br/>properties of the subgrade were determined through the California Bearing Ratio (CBR),<br/>the Moisture-Density Relation of Soil (MDR), and the Field Density Test by Sand Cone<br/>Method (FDT). A survey involving 15 blind participants was conducted, with baseline and<br/>endline data analyzed using the Paired T-test. For user testing, the time it took the same 15<br/>participants to navigate a path paved with GFRC-TPBs prior to and after its installation<br/>was recorded and analyzed using Paired T-test. For field testing, the rutting behavior of the<br/>pavement was observed as it withstands 500 passes by a lightweight vehicle. The elevation<br/><br/>difference was recorded every 50 passes. The subgrade passed the requirements of the on-<br/>site and laboratory tests. GFRC-TPB was shown to impact the mobility and orientation of<br/><br/>the PVI positively. This is also supported by the evident improvement in their navigation<br/>time from the user testing. The strength and integrity of GFRC-TPB were demonstrated<br/>and proved optimal, as it displayed minimal rutting and exhibited no cracks after the field<br/>testing. |
