The challenge
• Forge and misuse of the European Disabled Badge: Fake badges, incorrect parking in reserved spaces, misuse of genuine badges...
• Lack of information: o For public transport: routes, accessible means,
travel planning, real-time information,…
o For private transport: location and availability of parking spaces, access to restricted areas,...
• Lack of incorporation of ICT solutions in the provision of accessibility and mobility services
4
Goals
• Reduction of fraud by demonstrating the use of an ICT-enhanced European Parking Badge for mobility impaired people , both on the basis of physical (smartcards) - and virtual access right tokens –i.e. e-access through mobile devices.
• Proposal of specific multimodal navigation solutions for elderly and disabled people, using open data hubs and pre-existing toolsets that will be populated and exploited with specific information – e.g. elevators located near sub-way stations.

Methodology • Preparation phase. Including:
o Definition of users’ needs and requirements
o System requirements in terms of functionality, usability and accessibility.
o Development of use cases and scenarios.
o Conceptual design sessions
o Development, adaptation and integration of applications and services
• Small-scale pilot:
o Technology testing
o Usability and accessibility tests with users
• Large-scale demonstration phase: deployment of SIMON under real conditions in pilot cities: Madrid, Lisbon, Parma and Reading.
• Road map for deployment, including transferability, scalability and recommendations on standardization.

Validation. Small-scale pilot: global assessment of usefulness and usability
• SIMON Mobile: Test with 30 disabled users and relatives. Information received about:
o Usefulness and usability
o Support required for performing tasks
o Level of effort and frustration
o Identification of advantages, limitations and improvements
• SIMON CONTROLS: Test with selected parking controllers
o Ease of use and simplicity to
o Facilitates controller tasks.

Validation. Large scale pilot
• Ongoing (will finish on November 2016)
• Deployment of SIMON services and applications in Madrid, Lisbon, Parma and Reading in real conditions.
• Progressive implementation:
Sample: selected users (20/30 per city / 4-5 per profile)
Information gathering:
•Initial and final meetings
•Field diary
•Questionnaires (milestones)
App available in Google Play and App store
Involvement of users through dissemination and city council activities (e.g.: distribution of the new Blue Badge
Information gathering:
•Provided by the system
•Online questionnaires

Conclussions
• Development and integration of apps and services for mobility and parking, based on three pillars:
o Needs of users, professionals and service providers (cities)
o Flexibility of use and implementation (use cases and scenarios)
o Adaptation to the existing infrastructure at each city
• Implementation of three large scale pilots in Madrid, Lisbon, Parma and Reading
• During the final stage of the project, results will be assessed to build a Road Map for deployment based on the Social Impact of the results. The European Commission has asked for an specific report to promote the adoption of a new blue badge and parking regulation
