Description
Vadeo is a social network where people with reduced mobility share information on the level of accessibility of their urban environment (pavements, public buildings, restaurants, hotels etc.), in such a way that the users can plan their routes avoiding said obstacles.
There are currently a great number of people who have difficulties moving around public spaces, a problem mainly caused by accessibility problems. Vadeo proposes to improve this situation by developping:
- Web version 2.0 available at www.vadeo.es, where the users can consult the information and actively participate.
- An application for the iPhone which offers immediate access to this information from any given location.
Both solutions provide the user with the following funcionalities:
- The ability to see their current location on a map, seeing potential obstacles and points of interest in immediate surroundings.
- Add new obstacles of which they are aware, and define the seriousness of said obstacle.
- Add new points of interest, and define the level of accessibility offered.
- Calculate routes on foot to any destination, and show any obstacles present on that given route.
The application is being marketed and promoted both through traditional means as well as through public bodies, user associations and sector congresses.
