Overview of Tactile Walking Surface Indicators (TWSIs)

TWSIs are textured ground surfaces strategically installed in various locations, such as building entrances, sidewalks, transit platforms, and other walking areas. Successfully invented in Japan in 1965, tactile walking surface indicators are now used globally to assist blind or visually impaired people in traveling independently. Their simple, logical, and consistent layout ultimately makes public spaces more accessible for everyone.
