Abstract

Collection of data of customer processes are difficult, due to its dynamic and complex nature. This study reports on some initial findings using a video-based methodology in collecting naturally occurring visual data of travellers using different modes of transport (bus, tram, train, boat, subway) in Stockholm City. The study involves able-bodied and disabled travellers (customers) and identifies environmental and processual factors that are critical for the passengers handling multimodal door-to-door trips.
