Bolt is repurposing sensors on its e-scooters to map city street accessibility for wheelchair users, publishing detailed surface quality data to OpenStreetMap for urban planners and navigation services. The Wheels4Wheels project was piloted in Tallinn, Estonia, improving surface-quality info by 26%, with plans to evaluate expansion to other cities.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can leverage moving vehicle sensors to create real-world accessibility maps that cities lack. Startups in urban mobility or mapping should explore sensing data repurposing to unlock new value and partnerships with city planners.
