The research aims to identify the alternative route, cues, and architectural elements that the person with visual impairment use in navigating location inside the train station. The focus issue is that the guidance tiles are poorly constructed for people with visual impairment. The study objective is to identify alternative routes and investigate alternative cues and architectural components of the visual impairment used to navigate location inside the train station.
