Abstract

Alternative mobility modes for older adults are increasingly important for economic, ecological and social reasons. A promising option is ridesharing, defined as use of the same vehicle by two or more people traveling to a common destination. In particular, mobile computer supported ridesharing provides a promising way to enlarge older adults' mobility choices in addition to private driving and public transportation options. In order to understand the opportunities and obstacles of ridesharing from the point of view of elderly people, we conducted an interview study in order to examining ridesharing experiences. It turns out that "mobile independence" and "decisional autonomy" are key issues for mobile wellbeing. This partially conflicts with common ridesharing concepts. Hence, we further analyze older adults' strategies dealing with these conflicts and show that these strategies offer departure points for the design ridesharing solutions, which are better suited to the demands of older adults.
社会依赖和移动自主:用共享信息通信技术支持老年人的移动
从经济、生态和社会等方面考虑,老年人可选择的出行方式越来越重要。一个很有前景的选择是拼车,定义为两个或两个以上的人使用同一辆车前往一个共同的目的地。特别是,除了私人驾驶和公共交通选择之外,移动电脑支持的拼车提供了一种有希望的方式来扩大老年人的出行选择。为了从老年人的角度了解拼车的机会和障碍,我们进行了一项访谈研究,以检查拼车体验。事实证明,“移动独立性”和“决策自主性”是移动幸福感的关键问题。这在一定程度上与常见的拼车概念相冲突。因此,我们进一步分析了老年人处理这些冲突的策略,并表明这些策略为设计更适合老年人需求的拼车解决方案提供了出发点。
