• Easy finding of a site of interest.
• Elaboration and display of the shortest barrier-free path leading to a given structure.

All information can be found on a map implemented in a WEB-GIS architecture based on the techiques of Geographic Information Systems, so as to give a topographical reference of easy access.
The system is accessible without any restriction via:
- personal computers,
- mobile phones,
