The smart city concept has now become one of the key enablers in urban city management. The adoption and permeation of ICT and AI-driven techniques have enabled the authorities to resolve poor urban planning issues with improved delivery of citizen services. Major urban problem is addressing the accessibility issue across cities road crossing and facilitating visually impaired people via well-defined infrastructure. The research presented in this paper emphasized urban analytics that studies the road crossings and challenges one faces when accessing the footpaths of a city using the Tactile surfaces. This work demonstrates a distributed event analytics platform-GNOSIS to detect complex accessibility event patterns. GNOSIS ingest video data streams from cities infrastructure such as CCTV and detect tactile surface event patterns using an ensemble of deep learning models using a declarative query language. The work analyzes mainly three types of tactile surface -Blister, Cycleway and Directional, collected from different cities in Ireland using crowd-sourcing techniques. GNOSIS makes decisions in real-time based on the type of tactile surface, colour and the making pattern.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
