Geoaccessibility

A framework by Prescient Solutions for mapping the lived experience of the built environment — so that decisions about access are grounded in geography, not assumption.

Traditional accessibility audits stop at a checklist. Geoaccessibility asks a harder question: where are the gaps, who do they affect, and how do we visualise them in a way that demands action?

The Framework

01. Measure

Open data, on-the-ground audits, and user-submitted reports combined into a composite signal of how accessible a place actually is — not how accessible it is supposed to be.

02. Map

Spatial indices, 3D digital twins, and interactive layers that make accessibility legible to planners, decision-makers and the public.

03. Move

Findings packaged into briefings, policy tools and live dashboards that drive funding, infrastructure and program decisions.

Method

Composite spatial indices

Layered datasets — accessible parking, curb drops, voice-enabled intersections, demographic extrusions — combined into a single, comparable score across a region.

Live, user-submitted reports

Survey forms embedded directly in the map turn every visit into a data point. Volume and frequency of reports continuously update the accessibility signal for a building or area.

3D digital twins

Campus- and city-scale digital twins make spatial relationships immediately legible — and let stakeholders explore conditions they will never personally encounter.
