Female Mobility - Workshop Results

The THI is particularly interested in the aspect of inclusion. Our main contribution was the implementation of a participatory workshop on the topic of "Female Mobility" with the question of what requirements women have for indoor spaces and shared mobility. The workshop complements two earlier workshops with younger and older women. One exciting partial result, for example, is the desire for a low-threshold "emergency button" to provide quick relief in the event of a subjectively perceived threat. According to the participants, this could be implemented using a virtual assistant, for example. The "Female Mobility" workshop was linked to related workshops and accepted for publication at the AutomotiveUI 2022 conference.
