the requirements of elderly and disabled (E&D) travellers with various types of
functional impairments. A Definition of the Travelling Task for different modes of
private and public transport was used to capture the needs of E&D travellers through
interviews with experts and focus groups with users. The data collection resulted in a
generic specification of user requirements, in general and those specific to telematics,
for elderly and disabled travellers. This methodology and data can guide the design of
ITS and can provide a stepping stone to capture system-specific data to ensure that the
needs of elderly and disabled people are included in the design process.
