SafePath User Interface Development

Sidewalks, pathways and bike lanes are a vital part of cities, they act as conduits for pedestrian movement and access, they enhance connectivity and encourage non-personal vehicle transportion. Having safe, accessible and proper sidewalk and bike lane maintenance is a fundamental necessity for cities to enhance their citizens public health, happiness and maximize their social capital. Many obstructions, hazards and safety issues regarding sidewalks are unpreventable and, on occasion, necessary for city development. The major culprits for sidewalk inaccessibility and safety issues arise from three general categories: construction, environmental hazards and safety adverse areas.
Pedestrians with mobility and vision issues face these obstruction and safety issues head on putting their lives in danger and deal with unsafe wayfaring. Inaccessible and hazardous sidewalks are a top problem for pedestrians with accessibility needs. Without knowing what sidewalks are safe and hazard free it is difficult to decide what the optimal route is to take or when it is safe to use sidewalks, pathways and bike lanes.
