Abstract

Despite the progress of information, localization and communication technologies (ICT), traveler information is still very difficult to access for people with sensory disabilities (visual or auditory) during their journeys in urban public transports. Through the experience gained in the French research project INFOMOVILLE, this paper presents the main aspects that are to be considered for the wide deployment of transport information systems accessible to sensory impaired persons. It considers different points of view: technical questions (information, communication, localization, energy), ergonomics, economics, legal and normative context.
