Accessibility and Neurodiversity in Public Transport (2025–2027)
How can railway stations and public transport spaces be designed to meet the needs of neurodivergent people? In collaboration with Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), we are investigating the psychological requirements and barriers associated with using public transport infrastructure. The aim is to gain insights into how to design public spaces in a more inclusive way and to improve social participation.
