Smart-phone assisted travel assistance for passengers with reduced mobility

Kurzfassung

Public transportation is a main factor for a reliable mobility in urban and rural areas. Every user group and their specific requirements have to be considered during planning and realization of public transportation services. Hence public transport operators have to ensure a barrier-free public transportation service. Certainly this barrier-freeness still is not realized for every user group, due to the high complexity of public transportation systems. This article outlines an individual travel assistance application for smart phones which can be easily integrated into existing background systems of public transport operators.
