The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Older and disabled people possess a variety of functional limitations, from different types of physical impairment to restricted activity opportunities. The ASK-IT Integrated Project (FP6-2003-IST-2) uses ambient intelligence technology to provide personalised, self-configurable, intuitive and context-related applications and services for mobility impaired (MI) people in various environments, including home, work, leisure and transportation. It provides a set of additional services, including location-based, navigation, and e-commerce. This paper presents the ASK-IT objectives, system and services, explains the user requirements and content cataloguing methodology for the transportation application, and introduces the pilot sites in which ASK-IT trials will take place.
