Abstract
Providing a pedestrian accessibility model adapted to individual needs requires to consider existing interactions between elements of the environment to cross over and user’s physical characteristics beyond a simple consideration of speed references or average capacities to access. Therefore, a set of protocols and methods of data collection and analysis have been used in order to create a specific database dedicated to pedestrian displacements. Implemented in a geographical information system, this database finally allows to call the sections component of the network following the field and to identify spaces with more or less favourable profiles for pedestrian accessibility according to the specificities of each.
