Researchers of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the Hospital Universitari i Politècnic La Fe have developed a new application, currently in beta, to facilitate the movement of people around the city of Valencia (Spain), especially those who have temporary or permanent reduced mobility. Furthermore, it will warn users of any urban barrier in a simple and intuitive way. Therefore, it is a tool of great interest for the government, as it will facilitate the diagnosis of the status of the various neighbourhoods as regards accessibility and, ultimately, help plan investments and interventions to improve this matter.
