Cap4access - Collective Awareness Platforms for Improving Accessibility in European Cities & Regions

The project will develop a range of tools and methods for
(a) Documentation, annotation and discussion of locations/places and routes/streets within the built environment according to their accessibility/ suitability for individuals with limited physical mobility;
(b) Visualising the data in ways which are intuitive and highly attractive for a wide range of target users;
(c) Route planning and navigation for people with limited mobility;
(d) Creating awareness and preparing effective measures at local level for eliminating barriers for people with limited mobility.
