Europe SafeStep: AI-powered Travel Assistance for Elderly People with Frailty or Dementia arXiv:2607.21156v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: More than a million people in the UK suffer from frailty or dementia, which severely compromise their ability to travel in urban environments.

This paper presents SafeStep, an AI-driven travel system that assists elderly users with their journeys.

At the core of SafeStep is a novel travel graph representation, which integrates route planning with predictive modelling.

For each stage of a journey, the system (i) generates personalized failure scenarios using a combination of LLMs and the Anticip8 behavioral prediction engine, (ii) proposes targeted interventions, and (iii) estimates the impact of interventions on outcome probabilities.

This enables SafeStep to select interventions that maximize the likelihood of the person reaching their destination.

SafeStep was evaluated through experiments on travel graph generation and a field study involving 26 real-world journeys.
