Digital Solutions for Inclusive Mobility: Solutions and Accessible Maps for Indoor and Outdoor Mobility: Introduction to the Special Thematic Session

Abstract

The current paper is an introduction to the Special Thematic Session Digital Solutions for Inclusive Mobility: Solutions and Accessible Maps for Indoor and Outdoor Mobility. Mobility is a valuable asset that should be equally available to all people. This chapter addresses the following problems which need to be solved so that people with disabilities can also enjoy greater mobility: getting the relevant information about buildings, orientating oneself in buildings, accessing tactile indoor maps, providing navigation in indoor and outdoor environments, tailoring the route to the users, creating accessible navigation apps, and making them adaptable to the users’ needs.
