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.
