2. PRM space

radiogardenerasmusproject — 2025-09-26 08:37:38 UTC

The designated area for wheelchairs on a bus is often called the wheelchair space or priority wheelchair space. It can also be referred to as the PRM space, standing for People with Reduced Mobility. This area is equipped with safety features like adjustable straps and sometimes a folding side retainer bar to secure the wheelchair and its occupant.

Innovation 1: Bus stop in Barcelona. Summer Heat in the City? Misting Systems Provide Relief

radiogardenerasmusproject — 2025-09-28 16:19:57 UTC

In Barcelona, the summer months present our city with the challenge of extreme heat. Urban heat bu stops lead to high temperatures that affect residents’ well-being and strain the environment. This is where the innovative technology of misting systems comes into play. But how does it work, and why is it so effective? We highlight the benefits of misting systems as a democratic way of helping people feeling better while waitimng for the bus in

4. Bicing: a docking station

2025-09-28 19:17:54 UTC

To take out a bike, users simply swipe the contactless RFID card at a docking station to identify themselves in the system, which then unlocks a bike from the support frame.

7. Parking slots

2025-09-28 19:23:04 UTC

The stations are situated through most of the flat areas of the city with a distance of around 300 to 400 metres between each one. Many are situated next to public transport stops to allow for intermodal use. Metro stations usually have signs pointing to the locations of nearest Bicing stations. The bikes can be borrowed from and returned to any station in the system, making it suitable for one-way travel. Each station has between 15 and 30 parking slots to hold and lock bicycles, but in highly transited areas many stations may be close together.

2025-09-28 19:24:40 UTC

A bus stop is a place where buses stop for passengers to get on and off the bus. The construction of bus stops tends to reflect the level of usage, where stops at busy locations may have shelters, seating, and possibly electronic passenger information systems; less busy stops may use a simple pole and flag to mark the location. Bus stops are, in some locations, clustered together into transport hubs allowing interchange between routes from nearby stops and with other public transport modes to maximise convenience.

Innovation 2: Electric vehicle charger points.

2025-10-13 11:07:31 UTC

Barcelona is a very busy city with very busy people. In this society evryone depends on their phones, but phones' batteries aren't forever.

There are this electric vehicle charging points that I think could also have phone charger entries for people to be able to charge their phones if needed. To not use too much electricity they could have small solar panels on top to use solar energy.

Innovation 3: Water dispenser at the bus stop.

2025-10-14 23:21:38 UTC

In Barcelona, the summer months are very hot, and we have to drink a lot of water if we want to be well hydrated. Then, maybe it is a good idea that at the bus stop there would be a water dispenser that give us water when we need. This might be a great thing for people waiting for a long time for the bus to arrive.

I've added two chairs and a small coffee vending machine since charging the cars usually takes more than a few minutes. People can sit outside, enjoy the fresh air, and sip their coffee.

Innovations 4: Umbrellas bags on the bus

2025-10-20 11:14:28 UTC

The idea behind this innovation is that since it rains in winter, when a wet umbrella enters the bus, it can be dangerous, as someone could slip and the floor get very dirty. That's why i suggest having bags to store umbrellas on the bus

Public transport plugs

11aplesa — 2025-10-20 11:22:05 UTC

I think that we can put plugs on the public transport (bus, subway, train) because many people have to be away from home all day and when their lack off battery they don't have any place to charge their phone. The plugs can work with wind power and that way it doesn't pollute as much.

The importance of buses in Spain

2025-10-20 16:20:28 UTC

Most people in Spain use buses daily for almost everything: to go to work, school, on excursions, or other places.
The bus is very economical and more environmentally friendly than private transportation.
Here in Spain, we use cards called T16, which are valid up to the age of 16.

2025-10-21 18:16:08 UTC

Bus stops in Türkiye are usually located in busy urban areas and provide basic shelter, seating, and route information for passengers. Most are made of metal and glass, and in larger cities some include digital information screens or advertisement panels. However, many stops still lack sufficient shade, seating, and modern features, making them open to improvement.

5. Elderly people and pregnant women

2025-10-22 07:38:43 UTC

Elderly people and pregnant women often take public transportation because sometimes they can't drive anymore, or they don't own cars.

But seats can be uncomfortable or inconvenient for them: pregnant women don't fit, elderly people have a hard time sitting down on such tight spaces, their canes don't fit... That's why I think that these designated spaces should have adjustable seats on them so that people can sit comfortably and enjoy their rides.

In the picture on top of this text, I drew a lever and 7 levels to adjust the seat and space however they like.

Green Wheels: A Sustainable Way to Explore Italy

manu_bklf — 2025-10-30 16:14:24 UTC

Getting around cities in Italy can be slow and tiring. Electric scooters for rent could make travel faster and more efficient, offering a sustainable way to move, but riders need to stay careful and follow the rules.

The road is full of cracks and potholes, making driving dangerous. To improve it, the asphalt should be resurfaced, the ground leveled, and clear road signs added. Installing street lights and a drainage system would also help prevent water buildup and increase safety. These changes would make the road safer and more durable.

buses in italy often don’t have reserved seats for disabled people. A good way to make means of transport more accessible is to reserve an area for disable or people in wheelchairs. It prevents dangerous movement while the vehicle is moving and allows people in wheelchairs to travel with dignity and comfort.

2025-10-30 22:48:07 UTC

A great idea to make electric vehicle charging point more sustainable is to add solar panels and build the structure with recycled materials

9.Accessibility Barriers in the Metro

2025-11-22 11:16:30 UTC

In the photo you can see a hallway in the metro where, to change lines, you have to go down a lot of stairs and then go up even more. The problem is that this place is not accessible at all. People who use wheelchairs can’t get through here because the whole path is full of stairs. It’s also really difficult for people with baby strollers, older people, or anyone who has an injury. On top of that, the stairs are long and tiring, and when there are lots of people it becomes uncomfortable and a bit unsafe because the space is narrow. In conclusion, the main problem is that this part of the metro isn’t designed for everyone, and moving through it can be very hard or even impossible for some people.

Innovation 9 : Solutions for a More Accessible Metro

2025-11-22 11:42:29 UTC

To solve this, elevators could be installed so that everyone can avoid the stairs, mechanical ramps or lift platforms could be added next to the handrails, and the lighting could be improved to make the space feel wider and more comfortable using warm lights or reflective panels. This way, moving through the hallway would be much easier and safer for everyone.

The boat is one of the transportation methods in my city.

2025-11-25 10:12:44 UTC

I added a solar panel to my boat. This solar panel can be used as a power source for the boat's lighting.

Also, with the wind turbine I added, the boat's engine can run on wind energy.

I put a solar panel on a boat in shore. This can reduce the use of non-renewable energy and environmental damage. This can help us providing a better quality of life for people.

Smart Bus Stop

2025-11-25 10:13:50 UTC

I added a panel that the person on the stop can use to show he wants to ride the bus or not and also they can check when will the bus come . This way the bus can skip empty bus stops and can use shortcuts . I also made it with a solar panel so it can use renewable energy

How can the "flaws" of this road be improved? (flaw such as the non-existence of a piece of road for people on bikes)

Innovation: an inclusive road

2025-11-27 21:01:43 UTC

To improve this situation, we could first repair the road to make it easier for drivers and add a bike path on the side of the road to allow cyclists to ride safely. We could also introduce shuttle for elderly people, who can’t drive anymore but want to go somewhere

suedanur400 — 2025-12-16 17:43:17 UTC

I added a panel that shows how many passengers are on the arriving bus, how many empty seats are available, and how many minutes remain until the bus arrives. Thanks to this panel, people can decide whether to get on the bus or not. By seeing how long it takes for the bus to arrive, they can use their time more efficiently.
In addition, the area where the bus stop is located and the damaged parts of the stop can be repaired. Finally, I added a QR code that provides information such as the route map and suggestions for less crowded buses.

Solar panels next to the bus provide most of the city’s electricity and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Motion sensors on the ground detect movement and help produce energy.
