Our Vision
Our vision is to create a transportation ecosystem where accessibility is universal and supported by technology that empowers both users and providers. Through our application, transportation partners have access to real-time accessibility data, while passengers with reduced mobility, blind and partially sighted individuals, people with cognitive differences, and deaf or hard-of-hearing travelers all benefit from features designed to ensure their journeys are seamless, independent, and dignified.
We believe accessibility is not an accommodation but a fundamental right. Through cutting-edge technology, comprehensive partnerships, and user-centered design, we're transforming transportation systems to serve everyone equally.
How to Use the Application
Browse All Partners
Navigate to the Partners page to view all available transportation partners, including airports, ports, and public transport systems. The page is fully accessible with keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and clear visual indicators. Each partner card displays essential information and is designed to be easily identifiable and selectable for all users.
Select a Partner
Click on the 'Accessibility Info' button for any partner to access detailed accessibility information. The interface supports multiple interaction methods including mouse clicks, keyboard navigation, and touch gestures. All buttons are clearly labeled and provide visual and auditory feedback to ensure users with different abilities can successfully navigate.
Explore Accessibility Information
Once on a partner's page, you can explore comprehensive accessibility information organized by target groups: people with reduced mobility, blind and partially sighted users, those with cognitive differences, and deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals. Use the category navigation buttons to filter information relevant to your needs. The interface adapts dynamically and maintains full keyboard and screen reader accessibility throughout.
View Interactive Maps
Access detailed maps showing routes, and services at each location. The maps are designed with accessibility in mind, featuring clear labels, high contrast markers, and alternative text descriptions. Navigate through different sections such as parking, terminals, and services using the intuitive section navigation controls.
Switch Languages
While the main application is available only in English, each partner's page offers content in both English and the partner's native language. Use the language toggle on partner pages to switch between languages. All partner-specific content, including navigation labels, descriptions, and accessibility information, is available in both languages. The language selection is clearly indicated and persists throughout your session, ensuring a consistent experience.
Check Flight Timetables
For airport partners, access real-time flight information through the 'View Flights' button. Timetables are displayed in an accessible format with proper heading structure, clear time formatting, and screen reader-friendly layouts. Flight data is updated in real-time and presented in a way that is easy to understand for all users, regardless of their accessibility needs.
Implementation Strategy
The application is built using accessibility-by-design principles, integrating features such as adaptive interfaces, multilingual content, and real-time accessibility and flight data for all target groups.
