Description du projet
Ouvrir la voie à l’accessibilité des transports pour tous
Les transports représentent un aspect essentiel de la vie moderne. Toutefois, la recherche de solutions de transport peut s’avérer complexe pour de nombreuses catégories d’utilisateurs vulnérables, notamment les personnes handicapées, les personnes âgées et les habitants des zones rurales. L’un des plus grands problèmes est lié au manque d’accessibilité et d’inclusion dans les solutions de transport. Dans ce contexte, le projet INCLUSION, financé par l’UE, entend identifier les lacunes et proposer des solutions innovantes pour garantir des conditions accessibles, inclusives et équitables pour tous, quels que soient leur localisation ou leurs besoins en matière de mobilité. À cette fin, le projet aura recours à des dizaines d’études de cas impliquant différents contextes de transport et catégories démographiques. Les solutions proposées comprennent des éléments basés sur les technologies de l’information et de la communication.
Objectif
The main objective of the INCLUSION project is to understand, assess and evaluate the accessibility and inclusiveness of transport solutions in European prioritised areas, identify gaps and unmet needs, propose and experiment with a range of innovative and transferable solutions, including ICT-enabled elements, ensuring accessible, inclusive and equitable conditions for all and especially vulnerable user categories.
INCLUSION will address a large set of case studies (at least 50) involving different forms of geographical areas and transport contexts, demographic categories, population groups and mobility solutions, providing concrete experiences from various European sites and pilot initiatives involving a variety of regulatory and business frameworks, supporting technologies, organisational and operational conditions. Complementary to this, a number of innovative solutions will be concretely tried out and validated through real-life experiments (Innovation Pilot Labs) in a mix of urban, peri-/sub-urban and rural target areas in Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and the UK, offering a variety of different transport environments, socio-economic contexts, cultural and geographical conditions.
Expected results include: an understanding of the main challenges affecting transport provision and accessibility in the different type of prioritised areas; a structured view highlighting the dependencies among spatial and environmental characteristics, populations segments and their mobility needs; in-depth examination of 10 innovative PT approaches and a wider catalogue of at least 40 promising cases contributing to more accessible, inclusive and equitable transport solutions, complemented by innovative solution components validated in real-life experiments; a set of recommendations and an “option generator” for the development and deployment of mobility solutions addressing the needs of vulnerable user communities in European prioritised areas
