MobiPlus Project (2006 to 2009):

The MobiPlus project is the continuation of the SUAB project. It was launched in 2006 by the SMTC of Clermont-Ferrand, the LIMOS and an industrial. The objective of this project was to developped the prototype of a platform to improve the accessibility of buses for people with reduced mobility (PMR).

The developed platform consists of two subsystems connected thru a wireless network (see Fig. 1). The first subsystem is installed on the bus dock: it consists of a RFID reader and a wireless device. The second is installed in the bus: it consists of a screen and an wireless device equipped with a GPS. The operating principle of this platform is simple: PMR are equipped with an RFID badge. When a PMR is present on the dock, it is detected by the dock subsystem that informs the bus driver thru the wireless link.

​

The platform was developed by the SMIR group. It has been tested on several bus stops in Clermont-Ferrand (see img. 2).
