abstract: Transport planners are increasingly concerned with improving the accessibility of services and facilities for disadvantaged groups such as those without access to a car and those with disabilities. AMELIA is a software tool that will enable planners to test that their transport and other policies do increase social inclusion. The tool was design to be easy to use, thus it may also serve as a consultation tool with people who are socially excluded. Research was undertaken to explore whether this was the case and also whether the assumptions embedded in AMELIA reflect the views and behaviour of disadvantaged groups. To do this, a series of consultations were set up with three different groups of people who are vulnerable to social exclusion: a group containing older people and people with disabilities; a group of children aged 12-15 and a group of young adults aged 16-19. This paper describes the results of this work and discusses the extent to which tools such as AMELIA can truly represent the views and behaviour of vulnerable groups and the role they can play in consultation processes.
