Abstract

The TInnGO project encourages a gender and diversity perspective in design and deployment of smart mobility products. The project has established 5 key criteria – products should be effective, attractive, affordable, sustainable, and inclusive. To encourage designers to focus on these indicators and to inform procurement teams and organisations choosing a product, we developed ‘EAASI’ - a tool for evaluating smart mobility products from a gender and diversity perspective. The tool consists of a checklist of questions regarding gender and intersectional diversity. It was refined through the design experiences of the UK Hub evaluating products in use and ‘design provocations’ developed during group work with design students. The focus of this tool on gender- and diversity-smart thinking in transport gives it a strong appeal over more generic ‘usability’ methods and assessment tools.
