8th in the ULTIMO EC project series, this webinar will explore how accessibility and inclusivity can be translated into practice through co-creation, inclusive service design and real-world deployment. Drawing on ULTIMO experiences, other projects and expert perspectives, it will highlight practical approaches to involving diverse user groups throughout implementation and ensuring that automated mobility services respond to their needs in real operating environments.

Key Discussion Topics:

• Co creation in practice: Designing automated transit systems with diverse user groups rather than just for them;
• Accessibility by design: Physical, digital, cognitive, and informational accessibility across vehicles, booking apps, and interfaces;
• Real world deployment: Lessons from pilots, living labs, and cross project European research.

Featured Expert Panel:
