ULTIMO Webinar #8: Driving Inclusion – Shaping User Acceptance Through Inclusive AV Experiences

16 October @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Overview

How do we ensure that automated public transport works for everyone, regardless of age, mobility, or digital literacy?

Join us for the 8th edition of the #ULTIMOproject webinar series, where we dive into the core human and societal factors of autonomous mobility. Designing driverless Level 4 public transit fleets requires embedding physical, digital, and cognitive accessibility directly into vehicle design, booking platforms, and operational systems from day one.

In this interactive 90-minute session, an expert panel featuring research leaders from sister Horizon Europe projects (UPPER, AutoTrust, and OPTIPEX) will share cross-project insights on co-creation, user acceptance, and building passenger trust in driverless transit.

Key Discussion Topics:

  • Co-creation in practice: Involving diverse user groups directly in the co-design of automated transport services.
  • Accessibility by design: Addressing physical, digital, cognitive, and informational needs in AV fleets and interfaces.
  • Cross-project learnings: Key findings on passenger trust and acceptance from European pilot deployments.

Featured Speakers:

  • Delphine Grandsart – Senior Researcher, European Passengers’ Federation (EPF) | UPPER project
  • Dr. Antonios Lalas – Postdoctoral Researcher, CERTH/ITI | AutoTrust project
  • Dr. Johanna Kallio – Senior Scientist, VTT | OPTIPEX project
  • Prof. Antonio Lucas-Alba – Associate Professor, Universidad de Zaragoza | OPTIPEX project
