The problem
The infrastructure gap
Cities invest heavily in transit, but pedestrian navigation remains screen-dependent. Visually impaired residents, non-English speakers and tourists all face the same problem: existing wayfinding requires sight, language and screen attention. Cities carry accessibility liability and operational costs when those systems fail.
How HapticNav solves it
-
City-scale haptic corridors
Cloud-managed routes for pedestrian paths, transit hubs and public spaces. Deployable alongside existing smart-city infrastructure.
-
Sidewalk-differentiated routing
The 8+ year Mapbox partnership delivers pedestrian-safe routing that distinguishes sidewalks from roads.
-
Mandates met by default
ADA, WCAG 2.1 and international accessibility compliance built into the SDK. Reduce legal risk and auditing costs from day one.
What city procurement teams need to know
- 8+ year relationship with Mapbox: sidewalk-level pedestrian routing that distinguishes sidewalks from roads
