| contents | Ensuring safe and inclusive mobility for vulnerable older adults is an emerging priority in urban planning. However, existing data sources such as surveys or GIS-based audits provide limited insight into how micro-scale built environment (BE) features influence real-world behavior and perception. This study presents a novel multimodal data-fusion approach that integrates wearable and environmental sensing to dynamically represent human-environment interactions and quantify the BE impacts on mobility among vulnerable older adults, specifically those with knee osteoarthritis or a history of falls. Data collected during naturalistic walking sessions in Singapore, are used to demonstrate this framework of synchronized streams from eye tracking, kinematic sensors, physiological monitors, GPS, and video recordings. Preliminary results show how AI-driven data fusion can uncover behaviorally and perceptually significant urban segments, providing a basis for actionable insights in inclusive design. This human-centered analytical approach advances the representation of urban environments from the perspective of vulnerable pedestrians, establishing a foundation for evidence-based, age-friendly city planning. |
