This book examines how AI-powered smartphone apps can improve the effectiveness of evacuation and rescue plans for people with visual impairments in emergencies. It focuses on the specific challenges that arise when the visual information in traditional evacuation plans cannot be used. It analyzes how modern technologies-such as artificial intelligence, as well as acoustic and haptic signals-can help provide accessible and safe evacuation routes in real time. In particular, the analysis takes into account German standards for accessibility and emergency planning. The user-friendly design of such apps plays a central role-with features such as voice control, haptic feedback, and visual cues. In addition to a comprehensive literature review, experts from the fields of emergency management, accessibility, and facility management are interviewed. The book's goal is to develop practical recommendations and highlight best-practice solutions to sustainably enhance the independence and safety of visually impaired people in emergency situations.
