This report proposes cost-effective design guidelines to increase ride comfort, safety, and transit bus utility levels by specifying the visual cue requirements that will allow elderly riders to maintain a maximum sense of balance and spatial orientation. Human subjects were used to obtain both objective and subjective data. The results suggest that the use of vertical geometric patterns is a viable intervention strategy to optimize visual orientation and postural stability of subjects (i.e., reduce the incidence of falling) on a moving transit bus.
