Inclusive Train Traveling
The brief was to provide ideas, construct prototypes, and lay down general principles for the design of train information terminals accessible for the widest target group possible
The inclusive train information terminal is a project carried out in collaboration with the Swedish Railroad Administration.
The brief was to provide ideas, construct prototypes, and lay down general principles for the design of train information terminals accessible for the widest target group possible. our primary objective throughout the project, from our pre-study to the finalized, fully functional prototype, has been to allow people with various kinds of disabilities access to the service of public transport, following the ideals of inclusive design.
Throughout our user-centered design process, we have worked in close collaboration with a number of disability organizations and real users have been active in all phases of the projects. the resulting prototype has also been subject to thorough testing and evaluation in situ at Örebro train station.
We are quite excited that the results of this project is now found in all train stations throughout Sweden.
