A rotating cone tactile device is a haptic device used at traffic light controlled pedestrian crossings in the United Kingdom. It is used as a tactile signal for blind pedestrians to indicate that it is safe to cross the road.[1]
The idea for the devices originated at the University of Nottingham in the 1980s.[2]
