for detecting security threats to blind and visually impaired people
The project will be divided into two mutually complementary parts: the legal one and the technological one. The legal part of the project will consist in an analysis of national and international laws pertaining to the safety of visually impaired and blind persons in road traffic. Also, a catalogue of existing threats and a diagnosis of the sense of security of visually impaired and blind persons as road traffic participants will be elaborated. This will enable an attempt to create an innovative model of an urban map of threats to visually impaired and blind persons participating in road traffic in urban environments. The research will involve an analysis of the situation of visually impaired and blind persons, both as victims and as perpetrators of crimes. Moreover, an assessment of the possible involvement of local authorities in implementation of state-of-the-art technologies intended for use by visually impaired and blind persons will be performed. The technological part of the project will take into account the conclusions from the legal part to develop a prototype of an intelligent mobile equipment facilitating location and assisting blind and visually impaired persons in their mobility in urban areas. Of particular importance is the fact that works will commence on the development of innovative technological tools for automatic analysis of the geometry of the surroundings using state-of-the art miniature cameras installed, e.g. in glasses.
To provide support to blind and visually impaired persons in their daily lives and to enhance their safety, in particular in road traffic. To develop an intelligent system for detection of threats to the safety of visually impaired and blind persons, taking into account legal-criminological and technological aspects.

Dołączyłem do Platformy w listopadzie 2017 roku. Przez długi czas byłem odpowiedzialny za realizację krajowych i europejskich projektów związanych z bezpieczeństwem. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem PPBW oraz powstaniem Działu Komunikacji, zająłem się promocją i upowszechnianiem rezultatów naszych działań.
Obecnie koordynuję komunikację projektów finansowanych przez UE z obszaru bezpieczeństwa. Do moich obowiązków należy również zarządzanie kanałami online PPBW oraz wspieranie zespołu w bieżących pracach.
Posiadam szeroki zakres umiejętności, który pozwala mi realizować różnorodne zadania, takie jak tworzenie treści (teksty, zdjęcia, wideo), planowanie strategii komunikacyjnych i procesów, budowanie społeczności i relacji, a także administrowanie platformami online.
I’ve been working at PPHS since November 2017. For a long time, I was responsible for implementing both international and national security projects. As PPHS developed and the Communication Department was established, I was promoted to a role focused entirely on communication.
I currently serve as the Communication & Dissemination Manager for EU-funded security projects. My responsibilities also include managing the online channels run by PPHS and supporting the team with ongoing tasks.
I have a broad set of skills, enabling me to handle a variety of tasks such as content creation (texts, photos, videos), communication and process planning, community and relationship building, as well as managing online platforms.
