Abstract:Earlier research used ‘empathy’ to inform transportation students and professionals by
producing personal experiences that provided insights to improve public transportation
or at least identify ‘friction points’ in an otherwise accessible system. This project
explored the ‘age-readiness’ of communities as to their livability for an aging America.
Using MIT’s Age Gain Now Empathy System or AGNES, researchers and students
sought to better understand everyday movements and friction points using sidewalks,
retail environments, housing, and other pedestrian accessible destinations. In addition
to using the AGNES system, a collaboration with the AARP provided a platform for
shared learning about livability, aging and the critical role of mobility in quality of life
across the lifespan.
