Prototype using demonstration data. Final scores will be replaced by computed RAI-Next results.

About

A research prototype for global rural accessibility

RAI-Next is designed as an academic observatory for exploring how rural populations connect to services, opportunities, and infrastructure.

Project description

The platform presents a modern web interface for a future global Rural Accessibility Index that combines road-network distance calculations, rural population weighting, open service-location data, and dimension-level scoring.

Academic context

RAI-Next is suitable for university and research workflows that need transparent methods, country profiles, index comparison, and clear data downloads.

Prototype status

The current site uses fake demonstration scores. Final country and indicator values should be generated by the RAI-Next calculation pipeline and dropped into the same data folder.
