AccessMap Multimodal is a live, open source, and highly personalizable city-scale pedestrian accessibility map and trip planner that evaluates pedestrian accessibility through traversals of its underlying pedestrian network, inclusive of outdoor and indoor pathways. Evaluating a personalized cost function over all links in an annotated sidewalk and street crossing network, AccessMap captures personal pedestrian mobility profiles in an interactive information retrieval process, generating a growing dataset of practical personal mobility preferences.
AccessMap derives its pedestrian network from the OpenSidewalks project, an open effort by the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology to standardize and gather an extensible network model of pedestrian pathways that has incorporated several large-scale open-source pedestrian networks from diverse data sources. Together, these projects propose a paradigm for the creation and interpretation of pedestrian networks with wide analytical applications and better alignment with transportation equity and accessibility goals.
