Development of Surface Roughness Standards for Pathways Used by Wheelchair Users: Final Report

Questionnaire Data

Table 7 displays the results from the surface questionnaire for all surfaces. Percent Acceptable is the percent of the subjects that answered that the surface was acceptable on the questionnaire. Rating mean is the average of the ratings that the subjects chose for each surface after they traveled over them. Figure 21 shows a graphical representation of the data presented in Table 7.

This figure shows the linear regression of the questionnaire results wiith respect to surface roughness. Surface roughness is on the x-axis and the percent of subjects that said the surface was acceptable in on the main y-axis. The secondary y-axis is the average rating from 0-5 of the surface. The percent acceptable line shows the trend of decreasing percentage when roughness increases. The line has an r-squared value of .72 and a slope of -54. The average rating line shows the trend of a decreasing rating as surface roughness increases. The line has an r-squared value of .77 and a slope of -1.95.
