"Recommendations for Improving Boarding Assistance Systems";
Bericht für Europäische Kommission; Berichts-Nr. Deliverable D3.1, 2010; 89 S.

This Deliverable is the result of the task 3.1 - Develop Best Practices BAS Recommendations
- and partially of the task 3.2 - Prepare Design Recommendations for Improved BAS. These
tasks are elaborated in WP3 - Develop BAS Improvement Strategies. The structure of this
deliverable follows the same way: chapter 2 elaborates the best practice recommendations for
existing BAS, and chapter 3 give the design recommendations for improved BAS.
The task 3.1 is mainly based on the evaluation of existing BAS completed in WP 2 [1,2].
Evaluations made in deliverable 4.1 [3] are also taken into account. Some additional
information regarding operating practices which were collected after the competition of
deliverables 2.1 and 2.2 are also included. A further approach was to combine the results from
PubTrans4All research and relevant European projects [4,5,6,7,8], international [9, 10],
European [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17] or national [18] regulations etc. in order to make the list
of recommendations for existing BAS as complete as possible.
The approach was to elaborate relevant issues in logical order one by one and then stipulate
corresponding recommendations. Especially for new BAS that should be developed in
PubTrans4All project, the recommendations are given in chapter 3.2.
The task 3.2 was based on the evaluation of existing BAS solutions and practice. However,
the analysis of the BAS in Deliverable 2.2 shows that there are no existing BAS solutions on
passenger coaches with doors of 800mm width, positioned in the front area, directly behind
the buffers. This is a very common situation with existing UIC type coaches.
A comprehensive analysis of the general technical conditions shows that there are some
demanding boundary conditions and constraints that prevent many of the common BAS
solutions to be applied on this type of vehicles. The analysis presented in chapter 3 leads to
minimum recommendations and requirements for new BAS for existing UIC type vehicles.
This recommendation includes some restrictions in comparison to new vehicles with wider
doors, vehicles without buffers, or vehicles with doors located further away form the buffer
area.
Deliverable 3.1 with draft recommendations was prepared by the University Belgrade (UB)
and Vienna University of Technology (TUV). Railway operators, manufacturers, as well as
members of the consortium have also contributed to this report. The inputs of meetings of the
Prototype Development Group, which includes both universities, manufacturers participating
in the consortium and representatives of Bulgarian Railways (BDZ), after being discussed at
the 3rd Consortium Meeting, were included in the final version of the deliverable.
