Rennes
In Rennes Metropole, improving pedestrian accessibility and transportation networks is a priority. The goal is to optimize mobility across the area, especially for people with reduced mobility, individuals with disabilities, the elderly, or young parents with strollers. To achieve this, the city has decided to make all its road data publicly available. This data feeds into our route calculator, providing precise information to travelers. For the past year, Handimap has been integrated into the application and website of the STAR transport network (bus, subway) in Rennes Metropole. Available in 43 municipalities, it processes around 100,000 routes everyday. This service offers accessible routes by taking into account various factors such as the condition of sidewalks, crossings, public transportation, terrain topography (slopes, steps, sidewalk width), and any ongoing urban construction work.
The integration of Handimap into the STAR app and website contributes to the development of pedestrian mobility, the most carbon-free form of mobility. It encourages the use of public transport, which is more eco-friendly than private cars. From an economic point of view, Handimap reduces route adjustment costs and improves the user experience. This project also strengthens the partnership between Keolis, Rennes Métropole and Someware, boosting the regional ecosystem.
Handimap is a pedestrian and PRM route planner, already installed in 87 towns and cities in France, designed to meet the specific needs of inclusive urban mobility. It generates accessible routes for pedestrians, PRMs, senior citizens and other users, incorporating theoretical accessibility data (gradients, pavement widths) and real-time data (roadworks, obstacles). Its accuracy and multimodal coverage (walking, bus, tram, metro) make it a unique solution given the limitations of conventional calculators. Handimap has already been integrated into the STAR network in Rennes and via the HITinéraire application in Lorient, where it optimises public infrastructure, promotes local commercial activity and encourages soft, sustainable mobility. By making towns and cities more accessible and inclusive, Handimap is positioning itself as an essential tool for urban mobility that respects the environment and is adapted to the needs of all users.
