Using a NoSQL Graph Oriented Database to Store Accessible Transport Routes

Each day, people have to move to carry out their daily tasks, such as going to work, studying, shopping, etc., signifying that thousands of trips are taken on public transport on a daily basis. A huge number of these trips are taken by people with special mobility needs. In spite of the existence of numerous Websites and apps that provide information about public transport services, there is a lack of information regarding the accessibility of the routes and sites. We are, therefore, working on the development of a technological framework for the processing, management and exploitation of open data, with the goal of promoting accessibility to city public transport within the framework of the Access@city project. In this paper we specifically focus on the design and storage of accessible transport routes, obtained by means of crowdsourcing techniques, in a NoSQL graph oriented database.
