Abstract

We all can see that one factor that can tackle climate change is adopting a sustainable transportation . It is very important that eco friendly infrastructure is accessible and inclusive. The paper talks about the development of a solar EV station navigation app with a focus of designing technology that is gender sensitive and inclusive for all users. It argues that addressing the needs and wants for women and marginalized group will not only provide a great technology to all but also helps in betterment of the society. The research examines how participatory design is used to create an application, demonstrating how technology, gender design, and user input can be integrated to create a stable and balanced public service. The paper highlights how design can improve accessibility, safety, and usability, particularly for women, and discusses key challenges and solutions when using these ideas for solar power station application development.
