Sažetak
The mobility of visually impaired persons is the basis for their active participation in everyday activities. Therefore, the information and communication services should be adapted to this group of users. The services based on the advanced information and communication technologies provide the visually impaired persons with information about the environment while moving along the traffic network, which requires accurate information. This paper analyzes the currently available technologies (RFID, WiFi, NFC and Bluetooth) which provide precise information for the users. The mentioned analysis has been done on the example of the movement of users through a traffic intersection, when the user has to be provided with precise information about the location, surrounding and navigation to the destination. The user receives information by using a mobile terminal device and applications adjusted to visually impaired persons. As result of analysis, proposals have been given for the design of information and communication services whose function is to inform the visually impaired persons. Testing and analyzing the efficiency of single information and communication technologies have been performed on the actual traffic network system of the City of Zagreb. The users of the Croatian Society for Promoting and Development of Tiphlotechnology (Hrvatska udruga za promicanje i razvoj tiflotehnike - HUPRT) participated in checking the efficiency of single technologies and services. The results obtained by testing have provided the user with precise information about the location and environment thus improving the level of safety and the quality of living of the users.
