Abstract:
This paper presents a work in progress and an analysis about the difficulties for color-blind people to recognize traffic lights. Colorblindness (dyschromatopsia or discromatopsia) is a disease characterized by an abnormality in the photosensor pigment cells of the eye, resulting in the malfunction of color detection, most frequently in red and green shades. With this work, we want to understand the main concern about how smart cities will provide an accessible environment for colorblind drivers.
