Abstract
Mobility and parking in urban areas are often difficult for people with disabilities. Obstacles include lack of accessible information on routes, transport alternatives and parking availability, as well as fraud in the use of the specific services intended for these citizens. The SIMON project aims to improve this situation through the integration of different ICT solutions, including a new model for the European Parking Card for disable people with contactless technologies to support user unique identification in existing parking areas whilst preserving privacy. SIMON has also developed solutions for mobility including information, navigation and access to restricted areas.
