AB2010 Home page: The AB2010 regional accessibility forum was created in 1996 for the purposes of ensuring several main things about ITS developments in the greater Bilbao region: First, the various systems and deployments being made under this broad heading are developed on a coordinated basis from a broad regional perspective (rather than brought on line as independent, ad hoc, and almost assuredly sub-optimal implementations). And second, they are planned and implemented not as "interesting technologies" but as instruments that can help the Bilbao region move in steady and rapid steps toward a more sustainable transportation system and a more sustainable way of life.

From Bilbao, de 1999

Objectives

This section of the @AB2010 working site is intended to be a rich storehouse of reference data and links which put at the finger tips of the group information and examples which include some of the leading work and accomplishments in the field, world-wide. We anticipate that in time there will be hundreds of linked examples for the working group to consider, learn from and draw on.

While much of this information is available in English (and less off in French, German, or Italian), the AB2010 translate utility nonetheless offers some help in accessing these materials.

If you have further examples that you think might be interesting for the others, you could let us know by sending a message here.
