12 Modelling Approach
13 Methodology to achieve these Goals part 1
Data collection Tools in several levels
• Collection of Data for Fairness Characteristics Level 3 ▪ Datasets in a Member State and Company Level
▪ Observations • Collection of Data for Fairness Characteristics Level 3 in a Station and Docking Level
▪ UESIs (User Satisfaction Index • Collection of Data for Fairness Characteristics Level 2 questionnaires) and 3 at User Level
▪ DAD (Dynamic Argumentative • Collection of Data for Fairness Characteristics Level 1 Delphi) Surveys + 2 at User Level
14 Methodology to achieve these Goals part 1
Actionable knowledge for theToolbox from 1. Self-diagnosis module based on suites of observations protocols, satisfaction questionnaire and Self WP3 and WP4 audit tools (able to deliver a Maturity Model ranking)
Per each vertex of the Inclusion Diamond 2. Decision support system based on results obtained from above
3. Prediction of improvement of perceived Fairness ((based on regression analysis) could be based on Module 1 regression model fit to data of each organization) Observation protocol(e.g. Score based on percentage of stations alligned with required conditions )
Module 4 Module 5 Module 6 Triangulation for Identification of areas of improvements Suggestion box for Module 2 Multidisciplinary analysis within each organization and best practices User satisfaction questionnaires using the Fairness Maturity benchmarking possibilities across collected form Model ranking organizations to share best practices literature and industry
Module 3 Self evaluation audit
15 USE CASE I CASE STUDY: A rail service provider in South Europe
16 USE CASE I: METHODOLOGY
• The survey was conducted in person by the DIAMOND research team on Rail Service operator on trains and stations at pre-approved routes and times.
• Approximately 50 questions covered the following themes: – Capable of meeting required needs (ability to travel in an appropriately designed transport system meeting basic expectations and being environmentally sound) – Accessible (ability to access activities and services that people have reason to value; accessible to all groups also in terms of design and comfort provided, e.g. those with children, and in terms of fares and costs for those with lower income, including distribution of costs and benefits) – Safe and Secure (ability to travel safely and securely for all type of users)
17 USE CASE I: CAPABLE
• The means for each question by gender are presented. Again, there is evidence that male and female respondents’ needs are generally being met by this public transport service (Irish Rail). Although there is some discrepancy in mean scores across gender for each statement (e.g. nonbinary response), correlational analysis and one-way ANOVA showed no significant difference between the genders. It is important to note that the number of nonbinary respondents was quite small (N = 3) and this can impact data analyses for this group. Capable of Meeting Required Needs x Gender 7

18 USE CASE I: ACCESSIBLE
• The means for each question by gender are presented. Although there is some discrepancy in mean scores across gender for each statement (e.g. nonbinary response), correlational analysis and one-way ANOVA showed no significant difference between the genders except for one statement. • Gender differences: I can easily get to my destination from the station by walking or using other means of transport, F(3,318) = 2.86, p = .037 Accessible x Gender 7

• The means for each question by gender are presented. Although there is some discrepancy in mean scores across gender for each statement (e.g. nonbinary response), correlational analysis and one-way ANOVA showed no significant difference between the genders except for one statement. • Gender differences:When arriving at or leaving the station I feel safe at any time of the day F(3,319) = 6.12, p < .001

20 INCLUSIVENESS: • Chronic illness Most respondents (97.1%) did not have a chronic illness with only 2.9% of respondents stating they had a chronic illness (including mental illness) or physical, learning or sensory disability that affected their capacity to use public transport. There was no significant difference between genders. There was significant difference between chronic and non-chronic respondents for two statements: I am pleased with the provided travel information at the railway station, z = -2.39, p =.017; I feel comfortable with air-conditioning (temperature, ventilation, humidity) at stations and in carriages, , z = -2.22, p =.026. • Dependents (living with dependents and travelling with dependents) Most respondents (74.2%) did not live with any dependent person (e.g. children, elderly, caring for disabled person) nor traveled on a weekly basis with a dependent person (93.9%). There was no significant difference between genders. There was no significant difference between respondents living/travelling with dependents and those who do not across the three themes. • Discriminated against for using/working in transport for your appearance (aesthetics/the way you look) Most respondents (92.6%) report they have not experienced discrimination for their appearance. There was no significant differences for gender.
21 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORKS Towards policies and practice for inclusive mobility planning
• These resulst are goign to be discussed in focus groups within each organization to help idnetify also mor eind epth qualitative reason behind them and also explore possisble plans for improvements • Current transport systems do not sufficiently take into account women in the design of products and services, and in fostering women’s employability in the industry. • DIAMOND project analyses and converts data into knowledge with notions of impartiality to support gender inclusion in current and future transport systems from the perspective of women as transport users and as professionals in the sector.
