Here is a small overview of some of the activities Co-Motion has undertaken:
Mobility Scooter users: a week long study tracking mobility scooter users: Trials have taken place in Leeds and York. The team developed a sensor pack and an app to record the journeys people take, record their experience and measure environmental exposure.
App Co-Design workshops: The team ran four workshops across York and Leeds in February and March 2016 for participants to comment on proposed designs of navigation apps for mobile phones and tablets. The apps will allow people to plan walking routes in their local area and the apps will also monitor the routes that people take and use this data to inform other users of the safest, most efficient, or most pleasant route to take.
Safe mobilities for all workshops: The team ran a Safe mobility for all workshop with stakeholders in June 2015 and two further workshops with York and Leeds residents in September 2015. .This workshop examined the current guides available for stopping driving and also discussed how easily (or not) people make driving changes and what alternative to driving people consider and use.
