Urban spaces are often often not designed with accessibility in mind, especially for those with special needs and physical disabilities such as wheelchair users, visually impared individuals or seniors . These people struggle to navigate through cities due to unexpected inconviniences such blocked sidewalks or uneven pavement or buildings without elevators , etc. Standard maps rarely provide such information and are not reliable thus forcing differently abled individuals to depend on unsafe routes.
Idea: AccessMap is a navigation platform designed specifically for differently abled user. This app will provide people with wheelchair friendly paths and step free entrances , accessible restrooms and public transports for such people. People can also contribute by helping people out through this app in navigating people around them those are in need of assistance.
This platform builds on the existing GPS and mapping technology but combined with crowdsourced contributions and municipal datasets. It will provide accurate locations for convenient navigation and have voice navigation for visually impared people with vibration alerts.
This provides a sense of independence for differently abled individuals and encourages them to participate in their professional and social life. It also provides awareness for people who are willing to help people in need.
