The ATTACH project hopes to improve the accessibility of certain services for people excluded from normal channels for whatever reason. The services in mind include Community Services, Administration Rules, Benefit Programmes, local facilities, police and emergency and on line communication. These services should then improve “European Mobility.”

The project will achieve this objective by providing on line kiosks in areas around Europe. The kiosks may have the power to recognise specific people and thus provide specific services including private areas. Beyond this, attention has been paid to the media through which the information will be conveyed, hoping to take into account the disadvantages of the user (deafness, blindness and lingual barriers are all concerns). Contact between individual users is also being considered. This project further concerns itself with the future maintenance and information updates that may be required on local sites and European ones, including the maintenance of any staff in this field. As for progress, there have been reports of a prototype kiosk form the Metropolitan Police Service (and associated UK companies) with glowing success. The same story from Greece and Sweden, although the details of these sites are evasive. The Holland service is being built upon an existing network in Rosendaal. The web sites that I have found to be of interest are the MPS one at www.open.gov.uk/police/MPS and the ARTTIC site (a French company) at www.arttic.com/projects/ATTACH. |
