Co-Pilot
Analysis and design of the interactions and collaborations needed to assist pedestrian mobility - a case study with people with intellectual disabilities.
Today's pedestrian mobility aids (such as Google Maps) cannot be understood by people with intellectual disabilities. It is therefore necessary to propose appropriate interactions enabling a remote helper to guide, in a personalized way, the person with a loss of bearings, with knowledge of the situation.
Today, France is home to around 900,000 people with intellectual disabilities (ID). In order to enable people with ID to access autonomy and social participation, mobility is a real issue.
Today's pedestrian mobility tools (such as Google Maps) are incomprehensible to them. They can put the user with DI in difficulty, or even in danger, by guiding him/her mainly on roads.
Today's pedestrian mobility aids (such as Google Maps) are incomprehensible to them.
It is therefore necessary to propose appropriate interactions and in particular to enable a remote helper to guide, in a personalized way the person with ID, with knowledge of the situation.
The Laboratory is equipped with a set of simulators, called PSCHITT. A pedestrian mobility simulation platform is currently being deployed, and will enable this work to propose safe scenarios involving caregiver-caregiver collaboration.
Scientific and technical objectives
- Propose an interaction model adapted to the context of pedestrian mobility
- Propose an ontology to capitalize on knowledge
- Propose interaction solutions understandable by users with ID
- Propose interaction solutions enabling remote and mobile collaboration
- Validate these proposals on scenarios using simulation
Approach / Challenges / Originality
- The approach used is a user-centered one, involving local APEIs and the Nous Aussi association. Evaluations will be validated by an Ethics Committee.
- The issues are broader than those targeted by the case study's target population, as the proposals will also be useful in a child/parent or elderly/caregiver context. The scenarios and simulator will also be used to raise awareness among urban architects and public transport operators of the need to integrate comprehensible directions to encourage multi-modality.
- The originality of this subject consists in integrating collaboration in a mobility context with a mixed public with and without disabilities.
