Évéole: strengthening network accessibility for all passengers

For visually impaired people, we hadn't done much until now, other than having a website that meets RGAA standards. We decided to go further. That’s why we chose the Ezymob application. What reassured us was that Ezymob had already been deployed elsewhere. The implementation and the learning curve for the user were relatively simple.
About
Évéole is the transport network for the Douaisis area, operated by STAD on behalf of the Syndicat Mixte des Transports du Douaisis. Free since 2022, the network serves local residents through bus rapid transit lines, regular routes, on-demand transport, and a city-center shuttle.

Facilitating access to transport also means enabling everyone to understand their environment, find their stop, and follow their journey with greater independence. Already committed to making its network more accessible, Évéole wanted to go further to better support people with disabilities, particularly those who are blind or visually impaired. The network chose Ezymob to offer additional assistance to passengers directly from their smartphones, from trip planning to arrival at their destination.

Going further in network accessibility

Évéole is already working to make its infrastructure accessible to people with reduced mobility. However, for blind or visually impaired people, other difficulties can arise throughout the journey: identifying the right stop, navigating their surroundings, locating the vehicle, or knowing when to get off. The primary challenge was therefore to provide continuity throughout the journey by offering assistance where existing information and facilities are not always sufficient. Furthermore, Évéole wanted to rely on a solution that is simple to use and already proven on other transport networks. The goal: to supplement existing measures with an accessible digital tool capable of assisting passengers during their journeys without requiring additional equipment. It was with this approach that Évéole turned to Ezymob.

An application to support every step of the journey

To address these challenges, Évéole relies on Ezymob to offer a more accessible and stress-free travel experience. The application supports passengers at every stage of their journey, from planning to arrival, by adapting to each individual's needs.
