Abstract

Applications supporting the independent living of people with disabilities are usually built in a monolithic fashion for a specific purpose. On the other hand, a crucial sector for the livability of urban spaces such as mobility is undergoing a deep transformation, heading towards flexible composition of standardized services. This paper shows how this approach allows to build better applications for people with specific needs, making them seamlessly integrated in the most modern approach to smart mobility.
