根據我國統計，隨著現代人用耳習慣的改變，聽障比例正逐漸攀升，65 歲以上族群更高達七成。這表示隨著年齡增長，每個人都可能面臨聽力退化的問題。
我們的設計致力於打造無障礙的生活體驗。透過此產品蜂窩狀震動磚，以視覺與觸覺補足聽覺的缺失，讓行人無論是否能聽見或看見，都能安心行走。
由於聽障者無法透過聽覺感知環境，因此需利用其他感官來提供警示。視覺與觸覺是直觀且有效的警示方式，其中震動已廣泛應用於許多專為聽障者設計的產品與研究中。因此，本設計利用流動燈光與方向性震動作為警示機制，讓使用者能清楚感知車輛接近的方向。
壓電片是一種能將震波轉換為信號與電力的材料。應用於本產品時，不僅可感測車輛震動並將訊號回傳至行人所踩踏的磚面，還能將車輛動能轉換為電能，為產品供電。
震動磚分為兩種類型，分別安置於不同位置並相互配合：
金屬結構磚——安裝於馬路上，負責感測車輛震波並將動能轉換為電能。
實心震波磚——放置於人行道上，用於傳遞方向性燈光與震波，提醒行人車輛的來向。
According to national statistics, the proportion of people with hearing impairments is gradually increasing due to changes in modern listening habits. Among those aged 65 and above, the rate has reached as high as 70%. This indicates that as we age, everyone may face the issue of hearing loss.
Our design is dedicated to creating an accessible living experience. Through vibration tiles, we use visual and tactile cues to compensate for the lack of auditory perception, ensuring that pedestrians can walk safely regardless of their ability to hear or see.
Since individuals with hearing impairments cannot rely on auditory perception to sense their surroundings, other senses must provide warnings. Visual and tactile cues are intuitive and effective alert methods, and vibration has been widely applied in many products and studies designed for people with hearing impairments. Therefore, this design utilizes dynamic lighting and directional vibrations as a warning mechanism, allowing users to clearly perceive the direction of approaching vehicles.
Piezoelectric sheets are materials that can convert vibrations into signals and electrical energy. When applied to this product, they not only detect vehicle vibrations and transmit signals to the tiles pedestrians step on but also convert the kinetic energy of vehicles into electricity to power the system.
The vibration tiles are divided into two types, installed in different locations to work together:
Metal structure tiles – Installed on the roadway, responsible for detecting vehicle vibrations and converting kinetic energy into electricity.
Solid vibration tiles – Placed on the sidewalk to transmit directional lighting and vibrations, alerting pedestrians to the direction of approaching vehicles.
