The Taskar Center for Accessible Technology (TCAT), housed by the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington (Homepage), develops, translates, and deploys open source universally accessible technologies, with a focus on benefiting populations with motor limitations or speech impairment.

Projects

Several TCAT initiatives interface with OpenStreetMap data and tools.

For a full list of TCAT initiatives, refer to the Current Projects page.

AccessMap

AccessMap provides detailed information on pedestrian paths, transit stations, elevation changes, curb ramps, and more to enable accessibility-focused routing.

OpenSidewalks

OpenSidewalks seeks to provide tools and a specification that is not only compatible with OSM but is a comprehensive and accessibility-forward specification for mapping sidewalks.

Refer to the OpenSidewalks page for more information regarding the OSW Schema and OSW Tasking Manager.

GoInfoGame

GoInfoGame (GitHub) is a volunteerism app based on StreetComplete that leverages the power of crowdsourcing to gather critical pedestrian and accessibility information.

Note: GoInfoGame is not an OpenStreetMap editor and completed quests upload data to TDEI datasets, not directly to OSM.

Information about this app is included here because of its heavy borrowing from StreetComplete and its place in the broader TCAT mission.
