AAL - T&Tnet: Travel & Transport solutions through emptional-social NETworking

Nowadays, the use of GPS devices or smart phones is increasingly widespread for travelling between cities or to navigate inside a town. However, there is a lack of pedestrian navigation systems specially adapted to elderly people's needs and skills. Th e idea of T&Tnet is to provide personalised context-based multimodal and multinational social journey planning with affective capabilities and an easy to follow adaptive real time guidance making use of artificial reasoning based on an information manager (filtering and combining). This solution will allow them to carry out and solve movement tasks and problems independently. T&Tnet not only provides solutions helping elderly to get to a specific destination making use of a different transport means, b ut offers navigation/orientation adapted to the user preferences in real time which makes use of transport information (schedule, delay etc.), emotions, social networks, a collaborative evolutionary platform and message/alarm/bring-back to the route syste m.

T&Tnet provides solutions to help elderly to get to a specific destination by making use of a different transport means, and it offers navigation/orientation adapted to the user preferences in real time. The development process consists of 3 interactions, having as an outcome of each cycle: System MockUp, first prototype, and the final integrated prototype. Pilot application has the critical goal to: 1. Measure the implementation quality in terms of user experience, 2. Involve end-users in the development process in order to evaluate the outcomes and 3. Validate the final products and outcomes. The pilots will take place in Spain, Norway and France. The R&D-work packages with objectives are: WP1 (User requirement analysis, system specification and desig n): 1. Specify scenarios, personas, and target groups, and to analyse their needs and preferences. 2. Involve the end-users from all pilot countries in the development process in form of user surveys. 3. Define and specify user requirements. 4. Define ove rall system design and architecture. WP2 (Implementation and prototyping): 1. Implement the specifications from the WP1, to code all modules and corresponding test cases, and to integrate all source code to the final systems. 2. Change and improve the sou rce code and test cases based on changed specifications and testing. 3. Create a prototype and final integration of the components and services providing interconnection. WP3 (Testing and evaluation): 1. Measure the implementation quality in terms of user experience 2. Involve end-users in the development by means of user evaluations 3. Verify the final implementations. WP4 (Raising awareness and exploitation activities): 1. Produce, release, and spread appropriate dissemination material 2. Create public awareness for the project and its outcomes and to promote results and public deliverables across Europe. 3. To plan business opportunities, to analyse the market, and to generate business plans.
