Overview
DeepWalk provides an automated measurement and inspection solution for pedestrian infrastructure to ensure ADA accessibility. Its core product is a mobile app that leverages iPhone LiDAR to generate precise 3D models of sidewalks and curb ramps, which are uploaded to DeepWalk’s SaaS platform. There, machine learning analyzes the data across up to 58 fields to assess ADA compliance and produce detailed maps, reports, and construction documents for planning sidewalk improvements. This approach replaces traditional tape-and-clipboard methods, speeding up fieldwork and improving safety. Compared with competitors, DeepWalk combines consumer-grade LiDAR with automated analysis and a cloud-based workflow tailored to municipalities, universities, and civil engineering firms, emphasizing ADA Transition Plans and DOJ compliance. The company’s goal is to help clients plan, implement, and maintain ADA-compliant sidewalk infrastructure to avoid lawsuits and improve pedestrian accessibility.
