Austact® Manufactured from a UV resistant, engineering grade plastic that exhibits long life, extreme tensile strength and the highest abrasion/wear resistance of any other polymer.
In 1965, Japanese inventor Seiichi Miyake began advocating for the use of tactile guidance products as a means of orientating people with vision impairment.
These cues both tactile and visual are used to warn pedestrians of impending hazards and also provide directional guidance to important landmarks such as bus stops, ticketing offices and the alike, especially in open urban environments.
Now-days Austact TGSIs are the preferred tactile cue used by most Australian rail authorities and is being used in some of the most discerning international rail networks such as Dubai Metro, Hong Kong Metro and UK Rail.
