Vehicular Inclusion: an Analysis of Deaf Driving and Prospects for More Accessible Mobility
Abstrak
This article analyzes the feasibility of driving for individuals with hearing impairments by identifying challenges, technological adaptations, and regulations that facilitate their vehicular inclusion. Studies indicate that although deaf individuals do not perceive auditory signals, they develop enhanced visual perception to compensate for this limitation on the road. The importance of interdisciplinary evaluations and technological adaptations, such as visual alert systems, is emphasized to ensure safe driving. In Colombian context, regulations such as Law 1618 of 2013 and recent resolutions have advanced the accessibility of driver’s licenses for this population, promoting their autonomous mobility. However, challenges persist, particularly regarding communication barriers in training and certification processes. This underscores the need to continue fostering inclusive technologies and regulatory frameworks to enhance equity in access to vehicular mobility.
