ABSTRACT
Despite significant heterogeneity in pedestrian mobility, maps and trip planning services have traditionally treated pedestrians as a monolithic, limited extension to street traffic-centric approaches. Here, we present a demonstration of the AccessMap website, an open source, city-scale, interactive web map based on open data that provides individualized pedestrian infrastructure information and automatic trip planning services. Via the AccessMap website, customizable settings instigate real-time visual feedback of infrastructure accessibility and are used to automatically generate bespoke trip plans via an open API.
