ADA Ramp API
ADA wheelchair-ramp maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the run, landing and slope numbers a builder or accessibility planner sizes a ramp by. The rule the ADA fixes is 1 inch of rise per 12 of run, a maximum 8.33 % slope, so the ramp endpoint turns a rise into the ramp: run = rise × 12 (or × 16 / × 20 for a gentler grade if you have the room), plus the level landings the code requires — a 5-foot landing top and bottom and another between runs whenever the rise exceeds 30 inches — and the total length end to end, so a 24-inch rise needs a 24-foot run and 34 feet overall, while a 36-inch rise breaks into two runs with an intermediate landing for 51 feet. The fit endpoint answers the real-world question: does a ramp for this rise fit the run you have? It returns the minimum run an ADA 1:12 ramp needs, whether your space is enough, and the slope you would actually get if you forced it in — flagging when that exceeds 8.33 % and you need a switchback or a lower rise. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for construction, accessibility, home-modification and contractor app developers, ramp-estimator and code-check tools, and building software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Confirm against current ADA and local code. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints.
