 note = {For the project of National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) on standardization of visibility of tactile walking surface indicators (TWSIs) for visually impaired people, we conducted a survey on TWSIs use in 154 subjects (91 males and 63 females) with low vision, aged 14-90 years (mean=60.2). The results showed that 49% of the subjects used TWSIs when they walked, with the most common usage being walking while looking at TWSIs for guidance (45%), followed by walking on TWSIs without a white cane (33%). The other 51% gave reasons why they did not use TWSIs, which included 60% of them who did not need TWSIs for mobility, while the other 30% could not use them due to insufficient visibility, for example, the TWSI colors being too similar to background. Our study also clarified that over 60% of people with low vision walk by themselves every day. To assure the safety of walking for visually impaired people, the visibility of TWSIs must be standardized as soon as possible.},
