Title
Mobility Support GIS with Universal-designed Data of Barrier/Barrier-free Terrains and Facilities for All Pedestrians Including the Elderly and the Disabled
Abstract
This paper introduces mobility support GIS which provides the accessibility information of routes for all pedestrians including the disabled and elderly people. We have developed universal-designed data of barrier/barrier-free terrains and facilities which satisfies all pedestrians' needs for routes and area accessibility information retrieval, and collected the data of barrier/barrier-free objects in Koganei city (approx. 12 km2) and famous sight-seeing area of Kyoto (approx. 2 km2) by exploring roads. These prototype systems have intelligent user interface which offers suitable accessibility information to all pedestrians with different physical difficulties and preferences. Our final goal is to publish the GIS development know-how as a guideline, to release software tools for developing and managing the GIS and to propose the universal database as a Japanese standard.
