MaaS-Bridge: Accessible MaaS(Mobility-as-a-Service) Connectivity
MaaS-Bridge is an AI-based design system that creates safe, accessible connection points between vehicles and pedestrian paths, ensuring secure pick-up and drop-off experiences for all users in evolving transportation environments.
As autonomous buses, taxis, and mobility services become commercially available, users will include those with visual impairments, wheelchair users, seniors, and families, each requiring specific pedestrian features such as ramps, tactile paving, or curb modifications. Current navigation services generate routes for non-disabled adult users, overlooking these diverse needs. MaaS‑Bridge addresses this gap by conducting multi‑dimensional analyses of road traffic flow, pedestrian infrastructure near destinations, and user profiles to propose optimal Mobility Points. These recommendations ensure the physical accessibility and operational feasibility of transfer areas, enabling seamless first‑ and last‑mile travel. By bridging the gap between vehicle‑based mobility services and real‑world pedestrian access, the system helps service providers deliver more inclusive, reliable, and efficient mobility solutions for all travelers.
