Inclusive Transport
The digital economy offers a framework to develop transport solutions for disabled and older people that support mobility, enabling the maintenance of lifestyle choices and inclusion in new activities.

We are exploring how to implement a suite of technologies to assist older people to drive safely for longer, maintaining their mobility, independence and social networks. Public transport systems must be physically accessible and easy to use. We will explore the development of a personalized, seamless, multi-modal travel information system to help vulnerable people make safe, affordable journeys using public transport. Read more
