Forschungsförderungsprojekt
Current information and communication technologies allow development of new ad-hoc services tailored to the specific profile of the customers, especially in the travel domain. However, access to them is subject to a reasonable acceptance of the underlying technologies. The ¿STIMULATE¿ project aims at bridging this gap by facilitating the mobility and independent travelling capabilities of senior people aged mostly from the age of 55 through using fully adapted Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In particular, ¿easy to use¿ and ¿à la carte¿ assisted travel planning will be provided to seniors via TV and PC terminals, as well as itineraries optimisation and local assistance via mobile phones when ¿on the move¿. To address the travel needs of seniors and to build our proposal, we selected and studied 8 different projects or products in relationship to ambient assisted living and also to the particular domains of the travelling and transportation. These projects are: Victoria¿s Tender Care (US), Care-to-go (US), MARIA, CARLINK, WiSafeCar, iTour, WiseTrip, and Roadscholar. Our platform will be extensible and sustainable through a service-oriented architecture implementation. At the interaction level, we propose an innovative combination of TV and voice interaction using Smart phones. A short time-to-market timeline will be made possible using an innovative combination of existing proven components.
