Charles de Gaulle Airport

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.
