Imagine a city where every sidewalk, building, and beach is designed so anyone, regardless of age or disability, can move around easily. This work creates digital maps and apps that find the best routes for wheelchairs or visually impaired people, alongside solar-powered electric wheelchairs. It's like upgrading a city's operating system to make sure no one gets left behind while keeping the planet green.
Urban environments often lack standardized, digitized ways to measure and ensure accessibility for people with disabilities. This leads to inefficient city planning and excludes a significant portion of the population from public spaces.
Five digital planning tools (including accessibility routing and audit tools) and four hardware assistive technologies (including solar-powered wheelchairs and beach access devices).
If you are a firm dealing with strict accessibility regulations in city contracts — this project developed a digitized tool for conducting accessibility audits in buildings and public spaces that streamlines compliance and design accuracy.
If you are a provider dealing with a lack of inclusive transport options — this project developed a Mobility Kiosk of shared electric wheelchairs powered by solar panels to expand your fleet to people with disabilities.
If you are a resort operator dealing with limited accessibility to waterfronts — this project developed a device offering enhanced accessibility to beaches and waterfronts to attract a wider range of customers.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the tools and hardware are not provided.
The project tests solutions in 6 European cities, suggesting a scalable model for urban environments across different countries.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding the licensing terms or patent status of the developed tools.
The project focuses on standardizing design for an inclusive built environment and translating findings into actionable policies.
The project runs from 2024-05-01 to 2027-04-30, meaning tools will be developed and tested over this 3-year period.
The consortium is diverse, consisting of 17 partners across 9 countries. While it is heavily weighted toward 'Other' organizations (10), it maintains a practical edge with 3 industrial partners and 4 SMEs, resulting in an 18% industry ratio. This mix suggests a strong focus on social implementation and public policy, supported by technical academic research.
