Study proposes using satellite images and AI to detect accessible parking spots, improving mobility for users.
One major challenge faced by individuals with reduced mobility when travelling with their own vehicles to new areas is the lack of information about where to find accessible parking spots places and their usage constraints. While some large cities offer this information through official platforms such as the city hall webpage or mobile application, this is not a universal standard and often this information is not available for small towns. This study proposes a solution to alleviate these issues through the detection of accessible parking spots using Artificial intelligence on satellite imagery. The aim is to develop an up-to-date database that can be used by interactive maps and mobile applications to enable users to locate accessible parking spaces and access detailed information about their characteristics and usage regulations.
