The FABEMA® information and navigation systems
for the visually impaired and blind

"With us you make possible real barrier-free accessibility on construction sites and in the everyday routine."

Barrier-free accessibility is the central requirement for an inclusive society. The task is to enable the use of designed areas of life without barriers for people with blindness or visual impairment.

As a specialist for construction-site traffic lights, we install audio-tactile traffic light systems with our complete solutions and can thus guarantee safe navigation and barrier-free accessibility for blind and visually impaired people. Our information and navigation systems for the visually impaired and blind are equal to the complex mobility requirements of today and tomorrow and are suitable as supplementary solutions to the long cane.

What makes FABEMA® AUTA and FABEMA® BLINA special?

FABEMA® BLINA is not just an information pillar! It can be used in many different ways, e.g. in inner cities, train stations, museums, airports or other facilities where navigation is necessary. With the help of the programmable voice output it can communicate individually and independently of the language. FABEMA® AUTA functions as an additional audio-tactile signal transmitter and is mounted on mobile light signalling systems.

FABEMA® BLINA:

"I inform about the next stopping point, the distance from the shopping centre or about temporary road blocks."

The FABEMA® BLINA is the mobile information and navigation system for the visually impaired and blind which acoustically shows visually impaired and blind people the safe route to the next pedestrian crossing or the next amenity.

The “LOC.id” smartphone app or the “LOC.id” hand-held transmitter uses Bluetooth to search for applications that respond when approached. On the one hand, the volume of the location signal is increased when the visually impaired person approaches from a distance and, on the other, the previously configured free text is played back when the person is in close range.

The programme navigates to the destination or provides information about the location found (e.g. bus stop, the hairdresser in the city centre, the shopping centre, the city-rail station, etc.).

The new standard of mobility.

On construction sites in particular, it is necessary to use technologies that provide information and acoustic guidance in order to reduce the risk of accidents for visually impaired and blind people. The orientation sound and the voice output are located in a speaker unit that adapts to ambient noise.

Thanks to the adaptation FABEMA® BLINA is not perceived as an excessive nuisance at night. The “LOC.id” app is programmed to work in the background after it has been started and is therefore not a drain on the battery and memory. To use it you don’t have to hold the smartphone in your hand or actively monitor it.

Manual operation for orientation is of course also possible: The request button with braille script guarantees an LOC.id-independent function. FABEMA® BLINA is powered by batteries and can therefore be used and transported flexibly.

FABEMA® Auta – audio-tactile technology for barrier-free traffic lights

What does BLINA mean?

BLINA means BLInd information and NAvigation system, which acoustically navigates visually impaired and blind people through and around changing obstacles.

The voice output is individually programmable – the language, the volume of the voice and the speed.

What does AUTA mean?

AUTA means AUdioTActile equipment. With the second button (tactile) on the underside the request device enables the control system to respond to the visually impaired or blind person and apart from the usual green request also to extend the green periods.

The sound signal is used for orientation (audio) and is integrated with the green release signal in a loudspeaker unit. The special feature: The audio signal in the loudspeaker adapts to ambient noise and is therefore no longer perceived as a nuisance by residents.

More than just a light-signalling system

We have the solution: thanks to audio-tactile technology AUTA guides you safely and barrier-freely through road traffic.

With its second button on the underside the request device enables the control system to respond to the visually impaired or blind person and thus e.g. to extend green periods and clearing times.
