Towards a Model for the Transfer of Technology-Driven Innovation in Accessible and Inclusive Public Transport.

Abstract

This article reports on work undertaken by AAATE researchers in the framework of the EU-funded TRIPS Project. The project (2021-2023) has aimed to contribute to transforming public transport in Europe and beyond toward more inclusive models, leaving no one behind. The reported findings refer to a specific aspect of the transformation process that has been investigated by the authors, namely the factors that impact the transfer of innovation in accessibility by the public transport providers. A framework model was created due to a process of factor extraction from existing literature and their validation by a sample of decision-makers in the public transport sector.
