The DISABI team from Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM), a Digital\nBusiness campus, held a dissemination of the DISABI Smart Accessibility\nconcept to PT KAI DAOP 1 Jakarta on Monday (27\/8). During the event, the\nstudent team presented their research, solution concepts, and digital\ninnovation prototypes designed to support accessibility for persons with\ndisabilities in public transportation.<\/p>\n
The DISABI system integrates a disability-friendly application with\nautomatic platform extender technology to minimise the gap between the\nplatform and the train doors. This initiative is intended to provide a\nsafer and more independent travel experience, particularly for\nwheelchair users.<\/p>\n
Keysha Meyuna, spokesperson for the DISABI team, stated that this\ndissemination serves as an important medium to align student innovation\nwith operational needs in the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to introduce DISABI as a solution born from observations of\naccessibility issues. The positive response and feedback from PT KAI\nserve as motivation for us to refine this idea to make it more\nrealistic,\u201d said Keysha.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Head of the Digital Business Study Programme at UNM,\nLia Mazia, expressed appreciation for the students\u2019 courage in bringing\nacademic ideas to an industrial forum.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the DISABI team has achieved shows that students do not only\nlearn to generate ideas in the classroom, but also dare to bring those\nideas forward to gain direct perspectives from the field. This\ndissemination is a vital experience in honing business communication\nskills and user-based innovation,\u201d she said in a release received on\nFriday (25\/9).<\/p>\n
On the same occasion, the supervising lecturer, Johan Hendri\nPrasetyo, added the importance of following up on PT KAI\u2019s feedback to\nstrengthen the technical aspects of the prototype. Through this\ndissemination, Universitas Nusa Mandiri is committed to supporting the\ndevelopment of student social innovations to realise more inclusive\npublic transport services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this dissemination, UNM is committed to supporting the\nsustainable development of student social innovation. The evaluation\nfrom PT KAI DAOP 1 Jakarta is expected to mature the DISABI concept\ntowards the realisation of public transport services that are\nincreasingly inclusive for all members of society,\u201d he stated.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/supporting-disability-accessibility-unm-disseminates-disabi-innovation-to-pt-kai-1790585916", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
