A paper from the School of Continuous Improvement reports a sixteen-week pilot of RampCheck, a phone-mounted rangefinder application that lets a council footpath accessibility duty officer measure kerb-ramp grade in seconds and feeds each reading into an accessible-route trip planner's delisting policy. Mean per-stop audit time fell from 17.1 to 2.7 minutes across nine pilot routes, and 21 of 187 stops were delisted after three consecutive out-of-tolerance quarterly sweeps.
