Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, special attention is paid to people with disabilities in the Russian Federation. More than 12 million people with disabilities live in Russia.

There are two main problems of transportation of people with disabilities: the first issue relates to the physical unavailability of social infrastructure sites, the second issue is the absence of information about these sites for this category of citizens. The article describes the option to solve the issues mentioned above. This paper describes sports adapted for people with disabilities and advantages to use geo-information systems. The authors suggest the algorithms for making up a geo-information system for this category of people on the territory of the Russian Federation.
