Description

Viable looks for the elimination of the architectonic barriers through the use of Web 2.0. The system will consist of a backend platform which will provide a range of services that can be accessed from different interfaces:  web interface, taking into account the levels of accessibility and usability necessary to guarantee the correct access to the system of users with a physical limitation, or mobile interface, for access from these devices to certain utility services, and again considering the physical limitations of users. The users with functional diversity will notify, vote and consult all the problems related to their physical limitations and the state of the public roads, public or private enclosures, and generally any element that is a potential architectonic barrier in a city.

To provide information on the state of the public roads and the various system resources (buildings, addresses, portals) in real time. To collect accessibility information of establishments, administrations, public buildings, and means of transport. To provide to the government a simple, flexible and intuitive tool.
