ASK-IT
Mobility Impaired (MI) people have a wide variety of functional limitations, from different types of physical impairments to activity limitations. ICT systems following the "design for all" ethos and adequate content are required, so as to take advantage of both internet and mobile-based services. ASK-IT integrated project aims to establish Ambient Intelligence (AmI) in semantic web enabled services, to support and promote the mobility of Mobility Impaired people, enabling the provision of personalised, self-configurable, intuitive and context-related applications and services and facilitating knowledge and content organisation and processing. Within it, MI people related infomobility content is collected, interfaced and managed in Sub-Project 1 (Content for All). To offer the content, a number of advanced tools are developed within Sub-Project 2 (Tools for All, Leader PTV AG), such as the Enhanced Accuracy Localisation Module (EALM) which will combine different localisation techniques, including first interfaces to GALILEO services. Content and tools are integrated within an Ambient Intelligent Framework (Sub-Project 3), by a Multi Agent System of Intelligent Agents and a self-configurable User Interface, that offer service personalisation according to user profile, habits, preferences and context of use. The integrated ASK-IT service and system will be tested in 7 interconnected sites Europewide in Sub-Project 4 (Accessible Europe), to prove that full travel accessibility for MI users can be achieved in a reliable, seamless and viable way using a range of available technologies and communications networks. | ||
