Abstract

In this paper, we take the position that cities gain to be represented as three-dimensional spaces populated by scores of micro-scale-built spaces (buildings, rooms, passageways, squares, etc.). Effective algorithms that evaluate place-based accessibility in built structures while considering the indoor spaces’ complexity at a fine granularity are essential for indoor–outdoor seamless urban planning, navigation, way findings, and supporting emergencies. We present a comprehensive set of spatial modeling options and visualizations of indoor accessibility for an entire built structure based on various notions of travel impedance. Notably, we consider the metric length of the paths and their cognitive complexities due to topologic, syntactic, or integrated intricacy within our approaches. Our work presents a comprehensive selection of indoor accessibility analysis with a detailed implemental discussion that can be applied as a solid foundation for smart city applications or seamless urban research and planning. The analysis and visualization techniques presented in this paper can be easily applied to analyze and visualize built interior geographic spaces to study accessibility differentials in cities with vast vertical expansion aimed at achieving (or at avoiding) specific accessibility outcomes.
