PubTrans4All–Public Transportation Accessibility for All

The EU-funded project “Public Transportation – Accessibility for All” (PubTrans4All) will develop a prototype vehicle-based boarding assistance system that can be built into new rail vehicles or retrofitted into existing rail vehicles to improve accessibility for all persons – not only for handicapped people but also for people with huge luggage, parents with baby carriages or elderly. Accessibility for all is essential for creating an equitable, effective and efficient transport system. Therefore the PubTrans4All project will help building a fully accessible rail network.
