AccessMap
Goals
The AccessMap team is creating a mapping application that displays a variety of potential obstacles for people with limited mobility. The application incorporates mapping, elevation, sidewalk, construction, elevator location, and bus route data into a single interface for route planning. The application indicates the location of bus stops, elevators, and curb ramps, evaluates the slope of sections of sidewalk, and flags sidewalk closures due to construction.
Issues
The AccessMap team is developing a user experience and interface for individuals with limited mobility, aggregating multiple data sources, and developing a multi-obstacle path planning system.
