For ADP – Aeróports de Paris – France, CRA created a Universally Accessible Pedestrian Wayfinding System conveyed in French, English, and Spanish.
Charles de Gaulle Airport-Terminal 2C was designated for the prototype. The goal, to direct Passengers with Reduced Mobility
from a sidewalk to the desired reception, was achieved with a multisensory system which can be integrated into new construction or easily retrofitted into existing facilities.
The wayfinding system starts with a multisensory information table to introduces the Terminal. Raynes Rail segments with Braille and audio messages inform passengers. The glass slab present a tactile map of the terminal Accessible paths, counters and reserved seating are raised and indicated in yellow. Along the route, handrails give sequential information. The messages facilitate the navigation of non-sighted travelers through obstacles such as revolving doors. Bright yellow Tacdots delineate the path already introduced on the tactile map.
