Human Anthropometric Data Requirements Investigation & Analysis (HADRIAN) is a computer-based inclusive design tool that was originally developed through the EPSRC “EQUAL” initiative, and is being enhanced with funding from the EPSRC Sustainable Urban Environments programme. The tool is being expanded to include data on an individual’s ability to undertake a variety of transport-related tasks, such as vehicle ingress/egress, coping with uneven surfaces, steps, escalators, lifts, street furniture and complex pedestrian environments. Current design practice frequently involves using anthropometric and biomechanical databases that present percentile values for body size and strength, joint ranges for mobility and so on. A specific feature of the enhanced HADRIAN tool will be a journey planner that compares an individual’s physical, cognitive and emotional abilities with the demands that will placed upon that individual depending on the mode(s) of transport available and the route options.
