Digital Products and Services for Accessible Safe Mobility of Elderly and Disabled Tourists and Citizens in Greece
07.2018 – 03.2023
As part of the Seek & Go project, an innovative platform is being developed to promote accessible tourism. Through the implemented applications, travelers with special needs gain access to detailed information about the level of accessibility at tourist destinations. With the primary goal of making travel planning easier, a comprehensive solution to the mobility challenge is being introduced for the first time, providing users with the opportunity to know in advance the most accessible route that will safely and comfortably lead them to their desired destination. The platform, utilizing cartographic data, offers navigation assistance and complete information on the accessibility conditions of both the main urban infrastructure (sidewalks, crossings, squares, public restrooms, parking spaces, etc.) and cultural and tourist facilities and buildings (museums, theaters, parks, hotels, taverns, etc.). The project's outcomes combine modern technology with social responsibility to create a more accessible and inclusive travel experience.
