PONS - Paradigmen zur Optimierung der Nutzerführung im Straßenverkehr
Sprache der Bezeichnung:
Deutsch
Original Kurzfassung:
Zur Überbrückung (lat. PONS) jener Lücken in der Mobilitätskette, die den Fußweg von Reisenden zu
öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erschweren, sollen neue Paradigmen und Technologiekonzepte entwickelt
werden, die aktuelle Defizite bei der Information, Ortung und Dienstleistung verringern. Die Ergebnisse
sollen in einem Framework für die verteilte Weiterentwicklung bereitgestellt werden, damit
benutzergesteuert neue Lösungen entstehen können.

Englische Bezeichnung:
New paradigms and technology concepts for bridging (lat. PONS) the gaps in the mobility chain complicating the footpath of travellers using public means of transportation
Englische Kurzfassung:
In order to bridge (lat. PONS) the gaps in the mobility chain complicating the
footpath of travelers using public means of transportation, new paradigms and
technology concepts shall be developed decreasing deficiencies concerning
information, orientation, and service. The results shall be provided in a framework
for distributed enhancement enabling the development
of new user-driven solutions.
While usage of public means of transportation is widely supported by mobile assistance
services
calculating routes, notifying delays, or providing online tickets, there is hardly any systemic
assistance for the footpath to and between public means of transportation, especially
for people with disabilities.
By experience gained in prior projects related to barrier-free navigation, the project consortium
has realized that this gap in the mobility chain is due to deficiencies regarding (1) provision
of information, (2) orientation, and (2) provision of services for users of public means of
transportation. There is a lack of concepts for orientating at traffic nodes and for user guidance
by foot, in order to reach the desired vehicle as quickly as possible without detours or
individually perceived obstacles.
PONS (lat. ?bridge?) deals with these deficiencies in the mobility chain and develops (based
on the results of prior projects) new paradigms and technical systems for user guidance by
foot, considering individual requirements for journeys and guiding users context-sensitively. It
builds a bridge to existing systems or to recent research results in the field of public
transportation
and is considered an emancipated mobility approach serving people with physical disabilities
as well as children, elderly people or humans with cognitive impairments.
The focus of research lies in the development of suitable methods (both conceptually and
technically supported) closing the identified mobility gaps. ...
