Mobility Maps

5 Levels of Effort | Connectivity

For the wider community, planning for a pedestrian journey is easy.

However, for those using a mobility device, the elder generation, stroller families or those managing health conditions, the lack of essential pedestrian infrastructure and accessibility information means that navigating a city’s footpaths can be daunting.

The degree of travel difficulty can translate into social isolation for those with mobility issues, many who prefer to stay home rather than negotiate challenging pedestrian terrain.

To address this critical gap, cities must invest in comprehensive mobility maps that prioritise the needs of pedestrians of all ages, abilities and mobility.

What sets our maps apart

We have developed an effort-based color-coded classification to visually represent a city’s accessibility level, highlighting the impact of physical effort on an individual during pedestrian travel.This intuitive approach eliminates the need for any technical understanding, is quick for decision making, ensuring the maps are accessible to everyone. Co-created with people living with disabilities (our Brio Pilots), we build reliable maps trusted by the community.

The Briometrix mobility map is a user-friendly tool designed to assist residents and visitors with journey planning. Our maps also create a supportive environment for local businesses, boost accessible tourism and promote healthier lifestyles through walking.

How it works

Briometrix identifies routes to essential destinations – such as points of interest, sports grounds, parklands, health services and transit stops. Using Briometrix technology, we assess route accessibility in terms of connectivity and risk, and access to facilities such as accessible parking, accessible toilets and change rooms.

Once the mobility map has been produced, we test the map with the community to collect feedback and support future development. The data gathered by the footpath assessment to create the map resides in your own GIS database with network updates reflected on the online mobility map.
