Each link of the Paths can be tagged with several attributes, such as:
- Accessibility: whether or not the path is accessible (e.g. suitable for a wheelchair).
- Directionality: whether the path is two-way or one-way.
- Free attributes: personalised attributes that can be used to filter the kind of routes that Situm will provide. For example, we might tag one link as "private" and then ask Situm to only provide the paths that are "private", or to avoid the "private" paths.
Thanks to this, Situm will be able to provide the best route for your user and use case.
Accesibility
Situm allows to tag some links as "Non-accessible". This means that they can not be traversed by people with reduced mobility. This allows to compute routes that avoid these links, therefore producing accessible routes (e.g. suitable for wheelchair users).
The following figure shows an example of such path: stairs have been marked as "Non-accesible", therefore a wheelchair user will be suggested to take a different route (e.g. one that uses an elevator).
Directionality
By default, all the links are bidirectional, meaning that users can traverse them both ways. However, Situm also allows to define them as "one-way-only". An example of such situation would be the security control of an airport.
Free attributes
Situm allows to associate each link with personalised attributes or tags. These can be used to filter the kind of routes that Situm will provide. For example, in the following figure, one might ask for "private routes only", "routes that avoid private tags only", "only routes that contain the private and priority tags", etc.
