cze Přístupnost železničních nástupišť - zkušenosti a doporučení k navrhování v ČR a Srbsku. Přístupná železniční nástupiště jsou důležitou součástí moderní železniční infrastruktury. přístupnost pro všechny, tedy i pro OOSPO, je jedním z povinných požadavků na novou nebo rekonstruovanou železniční infrastrukturu v evropských zemích. Příspěvek uvádí mj. výstupy z průzkumu v zemích V4, přehled předpisů v ČR a Srbsku vztahujících se k navrhování přístupných železničních nástupišť. přístupnost; železnice; nástupiště; návrh; osoby s omezenou mobilitou;
eng Accessible Railway Platforms – Czech and Serbian Design Experience and Recommendations Accessible railway platforms are an important part of modern railway infrastructure. Accessibility for all passenger categories, including people with reduced mobility (PRM), is one of basic and mandatory requirements for new and reconstructed European railway infrastructure. According to the results of the research conducted within the framework of the Visegrád Group (cultural and political alliance of four Central European nations – Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, that are members of the European Union) in 2015, the existing railway platforms and passenger information systems represent serious barriers for PRM passengers (especially for people in wheelchair, with crutches, with baby prams, as well as for blind and visually impaired passengers). This paper deals with design requirements for railway platforms from the aspect of accessibility, tactile walking surface indicators and acoustic information for blind and visually impaired passengers. Paper analyses legal framework and shows examples of practical application of accessibility standards in Czech Republic and the Republic of Serbia. Furthermore, it provides concrete recommendations for barrier-free design of railway platforms. accessibility; railway; platform; design; persons with reduced mobility;
