This article investigates the ability of the sighted and partially sighted to estimate the speed of vehicles using a new low-vision travel-aid interface. It reports on existing environmental, ‘traditional’ and electronic travel aids and the ability to estimate velocity. Results suggest that sighted and partially sighted observers are able to estimate vehicle velocity in the physical environment and using the travel-aid interface, although estimations are frequently made with error.
