Accessibility issues and needs that were identified
-
providing means for older adults to participate in urban planning;
-
solve accessibility/mobility issues by collecting, visualising and sharing relevant, up to date and area specific data to inform decision making;
-
create datasets of interesting and enjoyable places to assist in future planning efforts;
-
measuring travel-time in Helsinki region considering needs of older citizens.
Solutions to these needs will be piloted with the following three use cases:
-
feedback on accessibility issues - piloted in Vuosaari
-
point of Interest - piloted in Vuosaari
-
travel-Time Matrix - piloted in the whole metropolitan area
