论文摘要
尽管人行道在支持移动性，可及性和公共卫生中起着重要作用，但缺乏高质量的数据集以及对人行道的存在和状况的相应分析。我们的工作探讨了一个双重愿景：首先，开发可扩展的机制来定位和评估世界各地城市的人行道，其次，使用这些数据来支持新的城市分析和移动性工具。我们报告了通过我们的方法实现的两项初步城市科学探索：探索地理空间模式和人行道可及性的关键相关性，并检查整个地区人行道基础架构的差异。
Despite the important role of sidewalks in supporting mobility, accessibility, and public health, there is a lack of high-quality datasets and corresponding analyses on sidewalk existence and condition. Our work explores a twofold vision: first, to develop scalable mechanisms to locate and assess sidewalks in cities across the world, and second, to use this data to support new urban analyses and mobility tools. We report on two preliminary urban science explorations enabled by our approach: exploring geo-spatial patterns and key correlates of sidewalk accessibility and examining differences in sidewalk infrastructure across regions.
