Abstract/Contents

Abstract
This research develops a design-aid framework to support the disabled access analysis utilizing a design-intent or objective-based approach. This approach depends on the clear intent or objectives of the code or standard and the ability to decompose the intent and objectives into testable code-compliant or usability methods. In addition, as part of a performance-based approach, this research also utilizes motion-planning techniques to test the wheelchair usability of a facility. This new framework also provides an Internet-based design environment for users or designers to interact virtually with the design of a facility. An additional component of the framework, an interactive environment, also addresses the deficiencies of the performance-based approach related to the difficulties in accurately modeling all the relevant behaviors.
