Developing enriched pedestrian networks using accessibility features

Abstract

Accessibility studies often focus on the general population, overlooking individual differences in mobility capacities and the role of external factors. Microscale street elements such as stairs, high kerbs, and sidewalk cracks can significantly impact urban mobility for individuals with restricted movement capacities. This study introduces a workflow to integrate different detailed accessibility information, such as barriers and facilitators for pedestrian mobility, with sidewalk data to create an enriched pedestrian network.
