Abstract: In theory, persons with impairments including elderly have the same rights of taking part in everyday life activities and society. However in practice, they are at risk of being excluded because of the great number of ICT solutions not addressing the needs of people with impairments. This paper describes a system which provides personalized services supporting people with impairments and patients travelling for medical reasons, work, social contacts, daily outdoor life activities, etc. In this paper, the authors focus on the scenarios, requirements, architecture, integration, requirements fulfillment, and conclusions of building an ambient intelligent travel companions.
