Case Study 2: HADRIAN: A Human Factors Computer-Aided Inclusive Design Tool for Transport Planning

HADRIAN is a computer-based inclusive design tool developed initially to support the design of kitchen and shopping based tasks. The tool is currently being expanded to include data on an individual´s ability to undertake a variety of transport-related tasks, such as vehicle ingress/egress, coping with uneven surfaces, steps, street furniture and complex pedestrian environments. A feature of the enhanced HADRIAN tool will be a journey planner that compares an individual´s physical, cognitive and emotional abilities with the demands that will be placed upon that individual depending on the mode(s) of transport available and the route options
