Project Sidewalk [ASSETS 12, CHI 13, HCOMP 13, ASSETS 13 Best Paper, UIST 14, TACCESS 15, SIGACCESS 15, CHI 16, ASSETS 17] 30.6 million U.S. adults have a mobility impairment Source: US Census, 210 5

6 15.2 million use an assistive aid Source: US Census, 210 No Curb Ramps 6

7 Physical Obstacles Incomplete Sidewalks Surface Problems 7

8 Physical Obstacles No Curb Ramp Surface Degradation Accessible infrastructure has a significant impact on the independence and mobility of citizens [Thapar et al., 2004 ; Nuernberger, 2008] I usually don t go where I don t know [about accessible routes] -P3, congenital polyneuropathy 8

9 A key challenge is that there are few mechanisms to determine accessible areas of a city a priori The National Council on Disability noted that there is no comprehensive information on the degree to which sidewalks are accessible in cities. National Council on Disability, 2007 The impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act: Assessing the progress toward achieving the goals of the ADA There are many approaches for data collection but they typically require onsite reporting, which limits scalability 9

11 Accessibility data collection Mobile reporting solutions The NYC311 app has a specific option for broken sidewalks Accessibility data collection Reporting on accessibility of places g g 11

12 Accessibility data collection Reporting on accessibility of places rg org These are fantastic and important tools but they focus on the accessibility of places rather than the accessibility of how to get to places. Accessibility data collection Reporting on accessibility of places rg org Moreover, they require onsite access of a place to submit a report. We are pursuing a complementary two-fold approach 12

13 Surface Problems 1 To develop scalable methods that mine massive repositories of online map imagery to identify accessibility problems semiautomatically No Curb Ramps Physical Obstacles 13

14 Physical Obstacles 2 To create new accessibility-aware mapping tools that support people with disabilities and provide unprecedented views of urban accessibility Mouse over neighborhoods to view access score 14

15 Personalize score based on mobility level Upping severity of surface problems 15

16 Mapping The Accessibility of the World Two Focus Areas 1 Scalable Data Collection Methods [ASSETS 12, CHI 13, HCOMP 13, ASSETS 13, UIST 14, TACCESS 15, ASSETS 17] 2 New accessibility-aware mapping tools [SIGACCESS 15, CHI 16] Mapping The Accessibility of the World Key Research Questions 1 Scalable Data Collection Methods [ASSETS 12, CHI 13, HCOMP 13, ASSETS 13, UIST 14, TACCESS 15, ASSETS 17] Is online map imagery a good source for accessibility data? Can we create interactive tools that enable crowd workers to find accessibility problems? How can we leverage computational techniques to scale our approach?

Can we create interactive tools that enable crowd workers to find accessibility problems? How can we leverage computational techniques to scale our approach? 16

17 Google Streetview Real World Put another way: How well do accessibility problems found in Google Street View correspond with the real world? Is Google Street view a reasonable Dataset for accessibility audits? Physical Audits vs. Google Street View 179 Bus stops Washington DC & Seattle 42 km surveyed 273 intersections Washington DC & Baltimore 34 km surveyed 17

18 Is Google Street view a reasonable Dataset for accessibility audits? Comparison Results: Spearman rank coefficients Bus Stops Intersections vs. vs. Physical Audit Data GSV Audit Data ρ= 0.88 Physical Audit Data GSV Audit Data ρ= 0.98 All results statistically significant at p < Is Google Street view a reasonable Dataset for accessibility audits? Consistent With Findings in literature See: Odgers et al., 2012; Wilson et al., 2013; Kelly et al., 2013; Bader, et al., 2017 Is Google Street view a reasonable Dataset for accessibility audits? City infrastructure changes slowly Avg image age in Bus Stop Dataset 1.7 yrs (SD=0.7) Avg image age in Intersection Dataset 1.5 yrs (SD=0.7) 18

19 Google Street View is a reasonable proxy for studying the state of street-level accessibility 19
