Objective
For disabled or elderly people, public facilities are often inaccessible because of physical barriers to mobility. Information on access is a great step towards independence, yet is rarely available, particularly for business and private travel abroad. This project will produce a marketable database with information on barriers to mobility in European cities and local districts, on the basis of transnational standards, made available through CD-ROMs and on-line services. It will comprise a BIS model town guide - a transnational concept called Town-guides for the handicapped; a data-collection tool for producing these following the model town guide; and a multimedia database giving information on accessibility of public buildings to people with mobility handicaps.
