OSM Tip – Open Route Service Wheelchair Routing

May 25, 2016 By GISuser

Open Route Service Wheelchair Routing – Plan your wheelchair-accessible trip through the city

open route service

OpenRouteService, developed by Heidelberg University’s GIScience unit, offers routing services by using user-generated, collaboratively collected free geographic data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). Within CAP4Access, OpenRouteService has been extended to allow for wheelchair routing, i.e. routing where important properties for people with reduced mobility are taken into account. These properties include avoiding steps, the specification of maximum values for slope and curb height, and the selection of preferred surface material to traverse.

More info:

OpenRouteService.org as offers Routing services by using user-generated, collaboratively collected free geographic data from OpenStreetMap.org – Please donate your geographic data to openstreetmap.org!  The service is based on open standards by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Currently the following services have been implemented within the frame of OpenRouteService.org, which allow you to include maps, geocoding, directories and other content in your web pages or applications.
