The second stakeholder event organized by Budapest Airport (PP3-BUD) was held on February 23rd.

Representatives from BKK (Centre for Budapest Transport), MVGYOSZ (Hungarian Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted) and AMS and colleagues from Budapest Airport  have participated. During a half-day meeting, András Bálint, tender coordinator for Budapest Airport, presented the status of the Danova project and how the project will proceed. He then introduced the pilot action plan, entitled conducting a website accessibility audit and developing a new, hands-on indoor navigation mobile application.

In his presentation, Norbert Oroszi, application manager for Budapest Airport, pointed out the technical and functional specifications of one of the pilot actions, the indoor navigation software. The new, hands-on indoor navigation mobile application can navigate blind and partially sighted passengers by voice and speech, to reach the boarding gates easily and smoothly. The application will guide the PRM passenger from his or her arrival at the airport, through check-in and security screening, until the boarding gates.

Orsolya Németh, head of operations for the Hungarian Federation of the Blind and Partially Sighted, also took part in the conference. She focused on transport opportunities and orientation information for blind and partially sighted people. In her presentation, she detailed the importance of IT accessibility and ensuring access for the blind and partially sighted.

After the presentations, participants split into round tables and validated the pilot actions, by theme, formulated recommendations and presented their proposals
