Lisbon, Portugal\u2013 On July 10th, NILG.AI proudly presented its urban mobility solution, SafeJourney, at VOXPOP Demo Day. The event showcased innovative projects aimed at transforming urban mobility.<\/p>\n

NILG.AI\u2019s CEO Kelwin Fernandes and Pedro Serrano, <\/span>data scientist at NILG.AI<\/span> were present at the event, where they had the opportunity to present SafeJourney, an AI solution to empower wheelchair users, to <\/span>community members, investors, and other stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Challenge: A Barrier-Free Path for Wheelchair Users<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are over 65 million wheelchair users worldwide, and 15% of the population faces some form of disability. Furthermore, every single one of us will likely encounter mobility challenges at some point in our lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

For millions of wheelchair users worldwide, accessing public spaces can be a daunting task. The lack of up-to-date information on the accessibility of public areas forces them to plan their routes carefully in advance. Unfortunately, this often leads to risky decisions, such as navigating roads to bypass obstacles on sidewalks or crosswalks.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SafeJourney: Empowering Wheelchair Users with AI<\/span><\/h2>\n

SafeJourney<\/a> uses Deep Learning trained with satellite, street, and geographical data to calculate an accessibility index for wheelchair users.\u00a0 This index is based on various factors, including sidewalk irregularity, crosswalk width, presence of ramps, and slope gradients, among others. By analyzing thousands of data points in Lisbon, SafeJourney provides valuable insights into wheelchair-friendly regions, enabling users to make informed mobility decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n \n\n

A Vision for a More Inclusive Future<\/span><\/h2>\n

We see SafeJourney as a great asset not only for individual users to plan their trips but also for Real estate listing companies, travel comparison platforms, and job-searching platforms, enabling wheelchair users to make informed decisions that will impact every aspect of their day-to-day life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A Journey Towards a Standard Mobility Score<\/span><\/h2>\n

With ambitious plans on the horizon, NILG.AI is preparing to pilot SafeJourney throughout Europe. We aim to garner early validation from industry stakeholders, positioning SafeJourney as the go-to standard mobility score for disabled individuals across the continent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking about the project, Kelwin Fernandes emphasized,<\/span><\/p>\n

We want to make our index <\/span>THE standard mobility score for disabled people\u2026 Providing an Accessibility Index to each door in the world.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

We believe that by making this index the standard, we can encourage institutions and businesses to make efforts to improve their own score, translating into organic improvements across the cities, turning them more accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n
