Accessibility Route and Event Analysis Engine
Transform accessibility from a vague concept into measurable, data-driven insights.
ARAEA analyzes routes and events using advanced spatial analysis, elevation profiling, LiDAR data, and terrain assessment to provide actionable accessibility intelligence for mobility aid users.
What is ARAEA?
ARAEA is a specialized analytical engine designed to assess the accessibility of routes and events for individuals using mobility aids. Unlike generic mapping or elevation tools, ARAEA focuses specifically on real-world usability for wheelchair users, ambulatory users, and other mobility-reliant individuals.
At its core, ARAEA processes route data (typically GPX files) and enriches it with multiple layers of environmental and spatial analysis—elevation profiling, LiDAR-derived terrain insights, path width estimation, cornering analysis, and surface classification. The result is a highly detailed, data-driven assessment of how accessible a given route truly is.
