Interesting (Accessibility) Things We've Seen in Project Sidewalk

[jonfroehlich]

HOW TO GET INFO FROM BROWSER CONSOLE

audit page:

• pano_id: svl.panorama.getPano();
• street_edge_id: (svl.taskContainer.getCurrentTask()).getStreetEdgeId();

validate page:

• pano_id: svv.panorama.getPanoId();

I just wanted some easy place to document these things--I should have started this a long time ago.

1. A sidewalk that appears and then goes nowhere:
2. A leaf or something got stuck on one of the GSV cameras

1. Should this be marked as an obstacle or a surface problem?

[jonfroehlich]

Walking where there is no sidewalk:

[jonfroehlich]

Sidewalk only in front of one person's house!

[jonfroehlich]

Curb ramps but nowhere to go!

[jonfroehlich]

Beautiful crosswalk but no curb ramps:

[jonfroehlich]

Driveway between two curb ramps on a corner!

[jonfroehlich]

Nice ADA compatible curb ramp but cross walk not lined up with it!

[jonfroehlich]

Suddenly no sidewalk between houses!

[Soben713]

4 types of labels in a scene.

I added a comment to keep the panorama id for future use.

[jonfroehlich]

Interesting. And good idea about using the comment/feedback option to save the panorama id for future uses (e.g., talks, making videos, etc.)

[jonfroehlich]

Crosswalk but no curb ramps or sidewalks!

[jonfroehlich]

Some curb ramps in very bad shape.

[jonfroehlich]

Curb ramp not lined up.

[jonfroehlich]

Intersections to nowhere:

Clearly in need of a sidewalk:

(Temporary post)

Found this funny car:

[jonfroehlich]

Mattress on sidewalk:

[jonfroehlich]

Inaccessible bus stop.

[jonfroehlich]

Gate blocking access.

[jonfroehlich]

No way through this double pole obstacle!

[Soben713]

Stroller on curb ramp:

Update - from another angle:

And another one:

[jonfroehlich]

This is great. Thanks Soheil!

Interior of a shop; saw a lot of these today.

[jonfroehlich]

Yep, this is actually not that uncommon in certain parts of DC. They did a lot of indoor Street View back in ~2013 or something. Hasn't really caught on though... however, I did propose using our technique to evaluate the accessibility of indoor areas when SV images are available.

Another form of occlusion -- water droplet on the camera

Jon: Actually @manaswis, I don't think this is from water droplets. Google Street View blocks out certain houses due to privacy requests (e.g., diplomat houses).

Sidewalk so bad forced on to street with baby stroller:

[jonfroehlich]

Moving Truck

[jonfroehlich]

Three label types in one area

[jonfroehlich]

A person in a wheelchair:

[manaswisaha]

Lady with a stroller (pano: h8xqan7uGBkTVTt1NEkDGA, heading: 137, pitch=-15, fov=40)

[jonfroehlich]

I was dropped into an intersection that has a host of problems (can't audit it currently because the server just went down but luckily it's fully loaded on client). The panoid is: pKpG-mrrq43wdHmhsSM_oQ

var t = svl.taskContainer.getCurrentTask();
t.getStreetEdgeId();
20093

Looking one way: two missing curb ramps and no sidewalk:

Looking another way: non-ADA compliant ramp and lots of potential obstacles in path:

[jonfroehlich]

Man on crutches:

svl.panorama.getPano();
"oJfwoWoX0ioh-kr2nzqxhg"

(svl.taskContainer.getCurrentTask()).getStreetEdgeId();
18376

[jonfroehlich]

Bus stop but no way to get down.

svl.panorama.getPano();
"AmD8045Gj309gSlfhwX-PA"
(svl.taskContainer.getCurrentTask()).getStreetEdgeId();
18088

I spy an auditor!

So many books!

Lovely curb ramp to nowhere.

Fun Halloween decoration

[maddalihanumateja]

I applaud your generous use of No Sidewalk labels

children on leashes?

[misaugstad]

1. Passable.

This is one of the volunteer vs. turkers experiment routes. Woman on street with baby stroller because no sidewalks

[jonfroehlich]

People trying to get by an obstacle with a stroller:

svl.panorama.getPano();
"P104F6pxS8goqESCqlIhDA"
(svl.taskContainer.getCurrentTask()).getStreetEdgeId();
11199

[jonfroehlich]

Woman using stroller on curb ramp.

svl.panorama.getPano();

[misaugstad]

Quite the obstacle!

[misaugstad]

Unconventional use of caution tape: avWP_U4Eeald2C65ADf1Yg

curb ramp not at an intersection, just from street to front doors of apartment building: R0vpjxEyP7KaRVaEIVaGXQ

[manaswisaha]

Mikey, also note the street ids because often times pano_ids get expired. So it we can jump to the exact street to get to this location.

I was doing this through workersandbox, so I couldn't check the pano id and street edge id (probably because it is inside of an iframe and idk how to deal with that stuff). But it in the 2nd route in condition 70, so we can walk through the route and find it later.

[misaugstad]

People walking on street because there is no sidewalk; same street as previous comment (2nd mission in condition 70)

[manaswisaha]

Cool thanks! It works the same way. As Teja told you on Slack, you can just use the browser console with command Teja gave and Jon has mentioned in the previous posts.
