| Abstract | pathVu is developing AccessPath, a pedestrian wayfinding app tailored towards wheelchair users and people with visual impairments. Typical pedestrian wayfinding apps do not use the sidewalk network to provide navigation, nor do they know the quality of the routes that they direct their users. In addition, these apps are not user-friendly for people with disabilities. AccessPath considers the pathway network, quality of routes, and user settings when suggesting pedestrian routes to travel. AccessPath can be used for pre-trip planning or real-time navigation. |
