Abstract	This paper will present the design and experimentation of the RAMPE system intended for the assistance and information of visually disabled/impaired people so that they can increase their mobility and autonomy in public transports. The system is intended to equip bus or tramway stops or to be installed in connection link. It is based either on a remote control (RC) or on a smart hand-held WiFi enabled device like a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) able to communicate by a WiFi connection with fixed equipment in stations to retrieve travelers information. This system has been evaluated by Visually Disabled People (VDP) in real public transport environment in the city of Lyon in France. Ergonomics data has been collected during the experiment and analyzed, showing the usability of such devices by VDP and hence also by Visually Impaired Peoples (VIP).
