This study presents a new model for analyzing urban accessibility for people with reduced mobility. The model identifies accessible routes and obstacles, improving inclusive urban space design.

Area of Science:

Urban planning and accessibility studies
Geospatial analysis and surveying
Disability studies and inclusive design

Background:

Inclusive use of urban spaces requires detailed knowledge of public building accessibility.
Architectural improvements are ongoing, but challenges remain, especially in historic areas.
Assessing urban routes and building access is crucial for equitable service provision.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a model for detailed analysis of urban routes and building accessibility.
To specifically address the needs of people with reduced mobility in urban environments.
To identify suitable transit routes and potential obstacles in urban surroundings.

Main Methods:

Development of a model integrating photogrammetric techniques with inertial and optical sensors.

Keywords:

accessibility inertial sensors optical sensors optimal routes wheelchair
