Toward a Trip Planner Adapted to Older Adults Context: Mobilaînés Project

Abstract

Mobility is essential for older adults to keep a good level of socialization, health and well-being. Still, aging is often accompanied by multiple mobility-related challenges. Hence, these mobility limitations make travel and use of public transport a big challenge. Numerous mobility trip planner tools can be found now days. However, they are not adapted to older adults’ needs and preferences. We discuss in this paper our attempt to develop a one-stop platform to help older adults in their mobility where, when, and how they want. We introduce our co-creation approach, our software architecture, as well as our first prototype.
