  • 2. Locoslab GmbH

Description

SIMON is a demonstration project with three large-scale pilots in Madrid, Lisbon and Parma aiming to use ICT services to promote the independent living and societal participation of mobility-impaired people in the context of on-street public parking areas and multiple transport modes. The project tackles two main challenges:  
- Reduction of fraud by demonstrating the use of an ICT-enhanced European Disable Badge for public parking, on the basis of physical –i.e. smartcards - and virtual access right tokens –i.e. e-access through mobile devices.  
- Proposal of specific multimodal navigation solutions for elderly and disabled people, using Open Data hubs and pre-existing toolsets that will be populated and exploited with specific information – e.g. elevators located near sub-way stations.  
An additional challenge is the instantiation of a proven methodology for data privacy preservation and authentication of users.
