Abstract

Walkability indices such as walkscore.com model the proximity and density of walkable destinations within a neighborhood. While these metrics have gained widespread use (e.g., incorporated into real-estate tools), they do not integrate accessibility-related features such as sidewalk conditions or curb ramps-thereby excluding a significant portion of the population. In this poster paper, we explore the initial design and implementation of neighborhood accessibility models and visualizations for people with mobility impairments. We are able to overcome previous data availability challenges by using the Project Sidewalk API, which provides access to 255,000+ labels about the accessibility and location of DC sidewalks.
交互式建模和可视化社区可达性:华盛顿特区的初步研究
walkscore.com等可步行性指数对一个社区内可步行目的地的接近程度和密度进行建模。虽然这些指标已经得到了广泛的应用(例如,整合到房地产工具中),但它们并没有整合与可访问性相关的特征,如人行道条件或路边坡道,从而排除了很大一部分人口。在这张海报中,我们探讨了为行动障碍人士设计的社区无障碍模型和可视化的初步设计和实施。通过使用Project Sidewalk API,我们能够克服以前的数据可用性挑战,该API提供了对DC人行道可访问性和位置的255,000多个标签的访问。
