Who Are We? Maps4DAPS is a startup founded by four passionate engineering students dedicated to enhancing accessibility for disabled individuals. As a free and open-source platform, we aim to empower our community by providing reliable and user-driven accessibility information, making it easier for everyone to navigate their environments with confidence.
We use a robust blend of empirically validated data from academic researchers, extensive surveys, and authoritative sources like the National Library of Medicine. By integrating user-generated ratings with advanced statistical algorithms, including regression analysis and machine learning models, we accurately predict additional travel delays faced by individuals with disabilities. Our platform’s predictive accuracy is continuously refined through feedback loops, where user inputs are regularly analyzed and updated in our database. This ensures that our predictions stay current and relevant. Additionally, we combine quantitative data with qualitative insights from user reviews to provide a comprehensive understanding of accessibility. This approach allows us to offer precise, data-driven insights into accessibility and transit times, helping users make informed decisions and plan their journeys with confidence.
Yes, Maps4DAPS provides comprehensive documentation and support to ensure a smooth user experience. Our platform includes detailed user guides and FAQs that cover all aspects of using the website, from account setup to navigating the map and submitting ratings. For developers and contributors, we offer technical documentation and API references to facilitate integration and customization. Additionally, we have a dedicated support team available through email and our community forums, where users can seek assistance, report issues, and provide feedback. Our goal is to offer robust support to both users and developers, ensuring that everyone can fully utilize and contribute to the Maps4DAPS platform.
