Mapping the accessibility of cities through Crowdsourcing and Data Analytics
Putting footpaths on the map – what we have done – Oct 2020
We have started collecting information about the accessibility of footpaths in different Irish cities. By 21st October 2020 our pilot group have already:
Collected more than 20,000 pictures of footpaths around Cork city, Dublin city, Galway city and Swords.
Moved along more than 27 kilometers.
Now we need your help to map all other footpaths around Ireland.
The blue lines in the following images below show the areas where we have already taken pictures to measure footpath accessibility. All images were extracted from Mapillary.com.
