Shared mobility as a tool for monitoring of barriers

Summary/Abstract: Safety and accessibility of sidewalks are key aspects for the comfortable living of residents in an area, but their effective monitoring is a challenging and financially demanding process. This article analyzes the collaboration between the city of Košice, the Technical University of Košice, and the company ANTIK in testing the utilization of existing infrastructure of shared scooters to assess the quality and accessibility of sidewalks using their built-in accelerometer and GPS module. The results indicate that it is possible to utilize them and identify problematic areas, but the experiment revealed technological obstacles that require solutions before widespread deployment. The outcome could be an automatic update of the city’s accessibility map and dynamic monitoring of the condition of sidewalks and roads, thereby streamlining monitoring processes and improving the overall accessibility of urban infrastructure.
