Sistema de Accesibilidad y Seguridad Universal

The  EMAC®’s  podotactile  system  for  UNIVERSAL accesibility  and security  was  born  to  facilitate  the  easy  transit  for  people  with temporal visual disability, low vision or blindness.

According to an OMS study, 2008, there are 253 milions of people with some kind of visual disability around the world. Of these, 36 milion are totally blind and the rest have some kind of visual disability from moderate to severe. This means the 3,75% of the world population suffers from low vision or blindness. The prevalence increases with age, but lot of people along their lifes will suffer some episode of temporal vision loss (bad graduation, slight eye disorders, absence of light ...)

The  EMAC®’s  podotactile  system  is  to  be  installed  over  finished flooring and acts as a hazard warning in case of obstacles, end of protected  areas  such  as  sidewalks  or  crosswalks, level  changes, presence  of  staircases... the  user  who  transits  through  a  normal pavement,  perceives  the  tactile  highlight  and  is  able  to  identify these dangers.

The  combination  of Novoband  and  Novotop  allows  to  create accesible  and  secure  pathways  and,  thanks  to  the  two  heightsavailable, fulfills the standards of several countries.
