How can the GP be replicated? | To replicate Picto Access, a digital platform could be developed to provide visual and detailed information about the accessibility of public and private spaces using intuitive pictograms in other countries. A collaboration between local businesses, public entities and the platform would be necessary to ensure accuracy and promote inclusivity. |

Long description | Picto Access is a digital platform designed to enhance accessibility by providing detailed visual information about the accessibility features of various public and private spaces. The platform aims to assist individuals with disabilities in navigating different environments more effectively. Through a comprehensive database, Picto Access offers insights into the accessibility of buildings, transportation systems, and other facilities by using intuitive pictograms which represent various accessibility features, such as wheelchair ramps, tactile paths, audio assistance, and more. There are 8 pictograms which represent different kinds of disabilities linked to a colour that provides an initial level of information on accessibility, and the associated lettering (A,B or C) makes the information more accessible and easier to read for everyone. By providing clear and easily understandable information, Picto Access empowers users to plan a seamless travel, ensuring they can access necessary services and locations without unexpected barriers. This tool is beneficial for people with diverse needs, including those with mobility, visual, auditory, and cognitive impairments. Picto Access also supports businesses and public entities in improving their accessibility standards by highlighting areas that require enhancements. Overall, the platform fosters inclusivity and independence for people with disabilities, contributing to the creation of more accessible communities. |
