Machine-readable plans for computing cabin-to-lifeboat path durations

Hello,

We are a couple of researchers in computer science, working on decision support systems using causality analysis.
In the CS field, the Titanic case is a well-known use case for testing all kinds of machine learning and artificial intelligence tools (the most simple example being this Kaggle dataset: Titanic - Machine Learning from Disaster | Kaggle).

In our case, we would want to try a new hypothesis-testing tool, which would be able to answer questions about the importance of this or that information for predicting the survival of passengers. For instance, was it more important to be:
– in 1st class or upper decks?
– on starboard or portboard?
– in 1st class or aft?
– etc.

To achieve such a study, we would ideally need to have access to a machine-readable plan of the boat.
Ideally, we would have a graph linking cabins to lifeboats through corridors and stairways, along with the distance between each of those items.
But having a list of cabin, corridor, stairway and lifeboat location coordinates in a 3D plan of the boat would already be of great help.

We found mentions to a CAD plan made by Bob Read, but his website is no longer available and we failed to find the plans in any archives.

Would such machine-readable plans exist?
 
Why can't you use a database to nest the 2D plans after projecting them on a scaled coordinate system? R seems like it would be a straightforward way to implement this.
