ACCESSIBILITY VIOLATIONSCMPE 451 SPRING 2012GROUP 5

ACCESSIBILITY VIOLATIONS

Our aim is to implement a violation tracking application with the following properties:

• Reporting a violation (type, location, description, media) • Report on disabled friendly locations • Update status of a violation (fixed, in progress, still same, ...) • Search for a particular violation or type of violations • Summary Reports on violations (summary of violations: types of

violations and their status). Someone from the municipality could be interested in seeing the big picture of violations.

• Assist disabled with useful information so they can avoid troubled areas

• Violation reports must support images, videos, and text • Comments (uses should be able to comment on violations) • Discourage cheating (users who abuse the system should be

detected and dealt with) • User tagging • Allow volunteers to vocalize reports (for the blind) • Resource area: tips, hints, people and organizations related to

the area. • Show violations on Map by showing all open violations, closed

violations, by disability violations (those that impact the blind) etc.
