New mobility platform Kl Navi facilitates paths for people with disabilities

At a time when mobility affects more and more people, a groundbreaking platform is being tested in Kaiserslautern that aims to revolutionize this area. "Kl Navi" is the name of this new mobility solution, which was specially designed for the needs of people with disabilities. This innovative tool could make the way in which affected people master their everyday life.

Inclusion through modern technology

The city of Kaiserslautern is proud that "Kl Navi" offers the technical basis for a comprehensive pilot system. The platform is currently in a test phase and will cooperate closely with the inclusion advisory board. Günther Klein, the project manager, emphasizes how important the feedback of people with restrictions is to achieve real inclusion. "The experiences and needs of these people are crucial so that we can offer individual route planning," he says.

practical application of the platform

The use of "Kl Navi" is very simple: citizens can enter the start and destination, similar to common navigation devices. The platform offers various route options, be it on foot, by car, by bus or a combination of different means of transport. Particularly noteworthy is the possibility of displaying a wheelchair -friendly route that avoids high curbs and stairs.

extended functions in the future

Another planned aspect of the platform is the integration of real-time information on traffic conditions and construction sites. This will support users even better in their route selection. "Kl Navi" is part of the "warm digital" project, which aims to provide digital solutions for the challenges of everyday life. Here, several data sources are linked to offer comprehensive information.

feedback and participation by the citizens

The city of Kaiserslautern invites all citizens to send their information, suggestions and criticism of the mobility platform by email to pisse@kaiserslautern.de. The close cooperation with the community is essential to constantly improve the platform and to meet the needs of all users.
