My experience working with the Briometrix team in Brisbane mapping was fantastic. I’m a long-term wheelchair user and was still surprised at what hazards are out there. The advantage of having the map to plan routes that are suitable will make such a difference in the lives of all people living with disabilities but wanting to…
Having successfully managed previous ADA sidewalk and trail assessment projects I was contracted as a Field Engineer for IndyGo Project. My role was to oversee and manage the pilots collecting data while mapping the surrounding area. The experience itself was extremely amazing and I enjoyed every bit of it knowing it will soon help everyone…
This work is so high tech and gathers incredibly rich data. It is the kind of thing you can only do by going on the ground. People don’t leave their known neighborhoods because of the uncertainty of navigating to where they need to go– our hope is this will mapping work will inspire confidence for…
As a WHS Coordinator at USQ performing hazard and compliance inspections I really strived to be as inclusive as possible to see that everyone’s needs were met when navigating around the University. When I returned post Spinal injury to visit the University it struck home when I realised how blindsided I was as an able-bodied person…
I presented the Effort Map to the with the unit management team for our monthly meeting -gave them a good tour through the mapping of the RR/Putney area. All were impressed with the look of it including being able to drill down to the detail with gradients, cross slopes, photos of risky areas, etc. Many…
“Briometrix cost effective technology is going to be embraced by innovative councils keen to gain deeper insights into city inclusiveness and drive accessible tourism. Their engagement of wheelchair community ensures validity and trust”.
“It takes the guess work out of planning a holiday or whether a family can travel to an event. That planning can be applied to people with disabilities, the accessible tourism industry, initiatives by small business to attract more tourist dollar. Briometrix found wheelchair pilots within the Shepparton community – the project was…
“Where other accessibility maps rely on topographical data, Briometrix maps evaluate the routes metre by metre, considering gradients, surface, camber, barriers and the effort required by wheelchair users – everything that affects the difficulty of a route. Important analysis for campus navigation and future planning”
“Working with Briometrix to train and hire local residents to map the accessibility of our transit pathways is a true mobility and community benefit. This data collected through the “City on Wheels” study will be used by our IndyGo planning department and hopefully more widely for trip planning and understanding the health of the city’s…
“The mapping technology will allow Townsville’s residents and visitors to have a positive experience travelling to major destinations within the CBD. This mapping tool shows how Council can improve the pathway network and accessibility for the benefit of the entire community.”
“Equity and inclusion are key principles we value here at council and in our community, which is why this project was essential in identifying accessible routes suitable for everyone. Categorising clear routes minimises mobility difficulties and allows the user to make informed choices before visiting locations across the Sunshine Coast. Mobility Map are important for the region…
“We commissioned inclusive mapping in three areas to understand the needs of people with disability who use walking infrastructure such as footpaths and pedestrian crossings. The information provides planners with detailed information for preparing walking networks that meet the needs of all users”.
Briometrix provided extensive data and fresh insights on the current path network in the study area. This helped more fully understand the lived experience of wheelchair users and ensure that solutions directly increased access and mobility for people of all ages and abilities. Briometrix were flexible, positive and great to work with.
It was fantastic working with the Briometrix team. They worked collaboratively with us to align their survey with our work and went above & beyond to share their findings in a short timeframe. Their survey outputs were mapped in an easy-to-use online platform. The data identified key gaps and barriers in the path network, which…
“New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest annual celebrations in the world. It’s so important that everyone gets the chance to come into the city and experience it, and that’s what this new colour coded Effort mapping service will help to enable. We’re committed to making Sydney inclusive and accessible for residents and visitors…
“The map is a fantastic outcome – the datasets show where Council can improve the pathway network and accessibility for the benefit of the entire community. And will allow residents to have a positive experience travelling to major destinations within the CBD. The map wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated wheelchair pilots, who were…
“IndyGo works to better understand any potential pathway barriers for Indianapolis residents to reach IndyGo transit service. Briometrix data provides a highly detailed, actionable set of data for transportation professionals in removing barriers for residents. The data captured are helpful not just for transit planners, but for public works professionals looking to improve the built…
