Smart Accessibility and Mobile for Barrier-Free Access
Trampolene
Problem Statement
Accessibility for persons with disabilities can be further improved:
There is a strong government-led movement towards inclusiveness for the less privileged, seniors, and persons with disabilities in society;
While the narrative has been particularly strong for the seniors, more can still be done for persons with disabilities; and
Other Barrier-Free Access (BFA) users, such as the elderly with mobility aids and parents with strollers, also require support to live, work, and play in Singapore in an increasingly fair, inclusive, and dignified manner.
Solution
Design a scalable, self-sustaining system that can collect, classify, and determine accessible point-to-point routes that are suitable for barrier-free access. This is done by developing a quantifiable, algorithmic, and scalable methodology for route data collection, processing, classification, and management.
A comprehensive nationwide BFA route and navigational advisory platform will then be developed to visualise and communicate route accessibility.
Outcomes
Persons with disabilities and other Barrier-Free Access (BFA) users are able to use the system to travel easily from place to place according to their requirements.
