Abstract
This work-in-progress introduces a proposal to incorporate sound in the passenger navigation system of the London Bus. First, we present the problems of accessibility concerning Londonﾒs complex bus system. Then, we introduce our proposal of using sound and sonification in particular to aid in the navigation of Londonﾒs bus system. We explain our sonification strategy and describe a recent preliminary trial of our sonification prototype, implemented as an installation during an accessibility event held by Transport for London at the ExCel centre in London on 19 March 2019. We discuss the feedback obtained from this trial and conclude with proposed future work in terms of both the development of our sonification strategy as well as its implementation in Londonﾒs public transport system.
