Assistive Technologies for Public Transportation
Assistive Technologies for Public Transportation aim to deploy assistive technologies in the public transportation infrastructure to ensure its inclusiveness and accessibility to a wider community of commuters. Such technologies ensure safety, guidance, ordering vehicle through Alexa / Siri and availability of special tools to the less-abled persons, elderly and pregnant women, including the provision of special ramps, audio guidance, light alarm for notifying the boarding of a person with special needs, and NFC badges that allow fast-track or free use of public transportation based on needs. Once passengers with special needs board public transportation vehicles, the staff gets automatically notified to provide support when and where needed. All these technologies allow for a more convenient and accessible experience for all city residents and visitors.
