Transit User Centered Empathy & Experience
| 项目名称： | Transit User Centered Empathy & Experience |
| 摘要： | Two of the trends converging in the twenty-first century are that of an aging population in the US and across the globe and increases in urbanization. This century is projected to give rise to more megacities, cities and metro areas with populations in excess of ten million people. New York and Los Angeles are already considered megacities, and Chicago is expected to join their ranks by 2030. While the invention and widespread adoption of the automobile in the twentieth century gave rise to the suburbs, patterns of urban migration, an aging population and some of the negative impacts of automobiles � pollution, congestion and consumption of natural resources � suggest that there will be increasing demands on transit systems to help people remain mobile and move efficiently around their communities as they age. In this study, the research team explores how older adults might experience different transit systems through the use of the AGNES (Age Gain Now Empathy System) suit with the goal of identifying which kinds of features help to facilitate the mobility of older adults accessing transit in urban metro areas. The project results should highlight which system aspects are more or less challenging for older adults to navigate and make recommendations for transit systems generally and individually as they prepare to serve a twenty-first century population. |
