A computational Model for Accessibility in Smart Cities

This article presents the MASC, which is a computational model for accessibility in smart cities. The use of ubiquitous computing in the area of accessibility provides solutions to support persons with disabilities (PwD). Unlike the proposed approaches, the MASC uses the interactions of PwD to compose trails which will be offered as a service. Moreover supports various disabilities, is intended for mass applications. A prototype was developed to evaluate performance and functionality. This evaluation was conducted with data generated by a context simulator in Sao Leopoldo - RS. The results presented in the tests indicate that the services offered by the model can be applied in smart cities to collaborate with accessibility, helping PwD, health professionals and public administration.
