Abstract: The tactile directional guide system provides directional information in the form of vibrations for use during emergency evacuations and the like. The tactile directional guide system includes a vibrational module adapted for mounting on a support surface, such as the floor or wall of a hallway or corridor, as non-limiting examples. The vibrational module includes a plurality of members linearly arrayed along a longitudinal direction and a plurality of vibrators respectively coupled to the plurality of members. A controller is in communication with the plurality of vibrators and is configured to selectively sequentially actuate the plurality of vibrators in either a forward longitudinal direction or a rearward longitudinal direction to provide a tactile directional output.
