<div dir="ltr">Hi Gurpreet,<br><br>The answer all depends on a number of things.<br>* What is your skill background, i.e. are you a developer & how much time you want to spend.<br>* What you count as a "wheelchair accessible route", do you just want no stairs or do you want details such as drop-kerbs when crossing roads?<br>* If you want to get the routes as one-off results, or you want an interface for people to request routes.<br>* What format you want the routes in, do you just want to display them or do you need them to do some further analysis on?<br><br>The OSM API will just give you the raw data to use yourself. It would be better for you to start by reading the Routing wiki page and work from existing software or there are even APIs that will provide you with a route between given points.<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Routing</a><br><br>From that page, I found there is already a German-based project for wheelchair routing.<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rollstuhlfahrer-Routing">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rollstuhlfahrer-Routing</a><br><br>If you look at the OpenStreetMap data for your area, you will be able to see what has been mapped and with what tags(attributes). Also, you can add additional information you survey by using the same tags that are used across the world.
