Imagine a city that automatically adjusts to everyone's physical needs, whether they use a wheelchair or a walker. This project creates a digital toolkit that helps architects and city planners spot barriers before they are even built. It's like having a virtual test-drive for a building to ensure every person can move around easily and comfortably.
Architects and city planners often struggle to predict how people with different mobility needs will interact with a building, leading to costly retrofits and non-compliance with accessibility laws.
A suite of digital tools including an Accessibility Assessment Scheme, virtual user models, and simulation environments for smart buildings and cities.
If you are a developer dealing with strict accessibility laws and high renovation costs — this project developed an Accessibility Assessment Scheme that provides clear, measurable criteria to ensure compliance and user comfort during the design phase.
If you are a city manager dealing with fragmented last-mile connectivity — this project developed solutions for e-mobility and micro-mobility that facilitate inclusive transportation options across 5 European Smart Cities.
If you are a care home operator dealing with high energy bills and poor patient mobility — this project developed virtual user models to optimize building operations and energy consumption based on actual user needs.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures are not provided as the project is currently in the implementation phase.
Yes, the project is testing its solutions across 6 case studies in 5 different European Smart Cities to ensure the tools work in diverse, real-life urban environments.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project involves a consortium of 22 partners including 8 SMEs.
Yes, the project specifically focuses on compliance with accessibility guidelines to ensure built environments are safe and user-friendly.
The project runs from 2024-06-01 to 2027-05-31, meaning full results and tools will be available by mid-2027.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward practical application, with a 36% industry ratio consisting of 8 industrial partners and 8 SMEs. With 22 partners across 9 countries, the project has a strong geographic footprint in Europe, ensuring the tools are tested against diverse national standards and urban layouts.
