“…More automatic and intelligent technologies have also been explored for accessibility data collection and urban navigation. This body of work includes helping to automatically monitor and assess accessibility using smart sensing and cloud computing technologies [2], predicting the condition and the quality of urban pedestrian accessibility based on a fuzzy logic prediction model [66], and recommending the optimal route or suggesting paths based on the modeling of urban accessibility to help avoid obstacles [3,38,58,75]. While most modeling focuses purely on external physical properties, some seek and propose frameworks to assess accessibility based on an integral consideration of human capabilities and the environment [25,34].…”

Mobility is the key for people with disabilities to have full participation in life. To support their mobility, previous work primarily focused on accessibility as an attribute of the external environment to be evaluated, labeled, visualized, and improved. Relatively less work has looked at how people with disabilities go out and move around in practice and work to achieve mobility. This paper presents a qualitative study of 14 wheelchair users' travel practices in everyday life in China, highlighting urban accessibility as alignment work -- the use of an awareness of the conditions along the journey to continuously align and re-align various resources to ensure accessibility and mobility across contexts and moments. By highlighting alignment work, we present another side of the story of urban accessibility, and broaden design considerations to support mobility for wheelchair users.

“…The possibility to engage users in contributing to the dataset is also described in [85], where people can register and upload categorized information about the services offered in the metropolitan areas. In [129], data collected by citizens are combined with comments and pictures through fuzzy logic. Ruta et al [122] make use of the crowdsourcing information about indoor/outdoor accessibility of POIs, not only to provide mobility impaired users with personalized paths, but also to visualize such information by means of AR.…”

Urban environments, university campuses, and public and private buildings often present architectural barriers that prevent people with disabilities and special needs to move freely and independently. This paper presents a systematic mapping study of the scientific literature proposing devices, and software applications aimed at fostering accessible wayfinding and navigation in indoor and outdoor environments. We selected 111 out of 806 papers published in the period 2009–2020, and we analyzed them according to different dimensions: at first, we surveyed which solutions have been proposed to address the considered problem; then, we analyzed the selected papers according to five dimensions: context of use, target users, hardware/software technologies, type of data sources, and user role in system design and evaluation. Our findings highlight trends and gaps related to these dimensions. The paper finally presents a reflection on challenges and open issues that must be taken into consideration for the design of future accessible places and of related technologies and applications aimed at facilitating wayfinding and navigation.
