The aim of the project was to contribute to the independency level of people with special needs as to allow them to move more freely in their everyday life and for travelling. The research had two objectives: on one hand, to study the needs of potential users (weak-sighted and heavily disabled non-independent persons), and on the other to critically analyse the existing offer using the data gained by organising three focus groups and carrying out two in-depth interviews with users.
