The contribution of vertical and horizontal transportation in terms of usability is of fundamental importance. The synergy between these two aspects is essential to ensure that people move efficiently within buildings and industrial complexes. Elevators play a crucial role in facilitating accessibility to different floors and levels, allowing individuals with diverse physical abilities and mobility to access spaces easily and comfortably. The usability of vertical transportation systems involves the speed, reliability, and safety of elevators, as well as their ability to adapt to people's needs, such as accessibility for the disabled and elderly.

· Considering technological advancements, what emerging innovations could impact the usability of vertical and horizontal transportation systems in the next decade?

· What specific features are crucial to ensuring easy and convenient access?

· What strategies is our country adopting and what projects are being promoted to address accessibility and inclusivity issues in vertical and horizontal transportation systems? Event in collaboration with ANACAM.
