Amendment 167 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
6. Affirms that urban transport should be more accessible; encourages the Commission, in this context, to propose guidelines regarding accessibility, safety and security for transport users and particularly for those from groups with special needs; highlights the key role artificial intelligence (AI) and digital solutions can play in this regard; In regards to safety highlights active and passive safety features in private vehicles and collective transport vehicles and stresses the importance of availability of mobile network in Member States necessary for emergency buttons; recommends implementation of AI and digital technologies into collective transport such as cameras, SOS buttons, real time remote identification systems for law enforcements and others.
