AIM4IT
Project overview
As part of this EU-funded research project, we contributed to design an inclusive travel assistance app for public transport.
The focus was on improving accessibility for people with mobility or sensory impairments through user-centred UI design, information architecture and the integration of assistive features. My work supported the goal of enabling barrier-free mobility via digital tools that were tailored to individual needs.
Responsibility
- Concepts and wireframes for an Android app with a focus on accessibility
- UI design and prototyping to integrate new functions into an existing application
- Iterative refinement based on feedback and research findings
- Participation in a user testing phase with individuals with disabilities

Project insights
As part of the project, we dealt with certain use cases:
- Protection Connection: If you’re on a route with transfers, you can set individual times for each transfer. This means we can easily calculate if a route is realistic or if there is a need to suggest an alternative route.
- Incident messages in sign language: If‘ you’re sign language is your native language, incidents will be displayed as a video in sign language.
- Request of bus driver assistance: If you need help with moving around, such as a ramp, you can ask for this before or during your trip for the route you are taking via the app.
- Re-routing in case of unplanned events: If something unexpected happens, the system will send you an alert and suggest another route.
- In-vehicle passenger information: If you are on the route, you can get information about the route directly on the device or test the hardware by getting off the train.
Concepts were developed and implemented for the use cases.
