Transportation provides access to employment opportunities and essential services such as healthcare services; while urban areas have various transportation options, the situation differs in rural areas. Rural residents often have longer…
Improving access to essential public services like healthcare and education is crucial for human development, particularly in rural Sub-Saharan Africa. However, limited reliable transportation and sparse public facilities present…
Despite the plethora of research devoted to analyzing the impact of disability on travel behavior, not enough studies have investigated the varying impact of social and environmental factors on the mode choice of people with disabilities…
Ageing societies face increasing strain on formal and informal care systems, particularly in low-density mountainous municipalities where sparse services and steep terrain constrain access. This study presents a spatially explicit…
The problem of destination accessibility is a vital concern in the sustainable tourism development in the emerging regions due to the increasing numbers of tourism business growth in the recent times. Tourism is one of the potential foreign…
The application of routing algorithms to real-world situations is a widely studied research topic. Despite this, routing algorithms and applications are usually developed for a general purpose, meaning that certain groups, such as ageing…
Seniors represent a growing user base for mobile applications; however, many apps fail to adequately address their accessibility challenges and usability preferences. To investigate this issue, we conducted an exploratory focus group study…
Aging society has been becoming a global problem not only in advanced countries. Under such circumstances, it is said that participation of elderly people in social activities is highly desirable from various perspectives including decrease…
One of the main reasons that cause seniors to face accessibility barriers when trying to use software applications is that the age-related user interface (UI) needs of seniors (e.g., physical and cognitive limitations) are not properly…
Rollator walkers allow people with physical limitations to increase their mobility and give them the confidence and independence to participate in society for longer. However, rollator walker users often have poor posture, leading to…
Socio-spatial segregation is the physical separation of different social, economic, or demographic groups within a geographic space, often resulting in unequal access to resources, services, and opportunities. The literature has…
Community participation is an important aspect of an individuals physical and mental well-being. This participation is often limited for persons with disabilities, especially those with ambulatory impairments due to the inability to…
People with limited mobility in the U.S. (defined as having difficulty or inability to walk a quarter of a mile without help and without the use of special equipment) face a growing informational gap: while pedestrian routing algorithms are…
The well-being of older adults relies significantly on maintaining balance and mobility. As physical ability declines, older adults often accept the need for assistive devices. However, existing walkers frequently fail to consider user…
Climate change mitigation in urban mobility requires policies reconfiguring urban form to increase accessibility and facilitate low-carbon modes of transport. However, current policy research has insufficiently assessed urban form effects…
Locational measures of accessibility are widely used in urban and transportation planning to understand the impact of the transportation system on influencing people's access to places. However, there is a considerable lack of measurement…
In the past twenty years the number of elderly drivers has increased for two reasons. one is the higher proportion of elderly in the population, and the other is the rise in the share of the elderly who drive. This paper examines the…
As the ageing population grows, older adults increasingly rely on wearable devices to monitor chronic conditions. However, conventional health data representations (HDRs) often present accessibility challenges, particularly for critical…
Transported mediation effects provide an avenue to understand how upstream interventions (such as improved neighborhood conditions like green spaces) would work differently when applied to different populations as a result of factors that…
Datasets sourced from people with disabilities and older adults play an important role in innovation, benchmarking, and mitigating bias for both assistive and inclusive AI-infused applications. However, they are scarce. We conduct a…
