Welcome back to the ABCs of OptiPEx! 📢
R is for real-time passenger experience.
The OptiPEx passenger-aware public transport service solutions are built on advanced vehicle technologies that assess the real-time passenger experience and adjust the conditions accordingly.
This week, we celebrated International Youth Day.
Students are among the key user groups with whom we co-create passenger-aware public transport solutions.
Their feedback ensures we create a passenger experience that is fit for the future.
Welcome back to the ABCs of OptiPEx! 📢
Q is for questionnaire
OptiPEx’s co-creation process involves the employment of online surveys and on-site questionnaires. The aim is to collect comprehensive feedback from passengers with diverse needs and backgrounds.
Our fellow @CCAM_EU project Diversify-CCAM has developed a new survey on inclusive, user-centred mobility solutions in Europe.
