The Map
We completed a demo with the City of Porto, using the open-source tool ATLAS to define accessibility criteria and rate routes.
A test map of Campanhã shows accessible paths in green; click on a line for details.
Next, we’ll expand to new regions, add Points of Interest with verified accessibility info, and enhance functionality like automated route selection and multi-language options.
More updates soon!
