Guidance for selecting innovative technologies to support integrative accessibility

Accessibility As discussed in Chapter 6 (accessibility and policy), accessibility was considered as having four components; geographical, physical, social and temporal. As the project developed, another component emerged, and the social accessibility was made into two areas to cover equality and access to opportunities. So we now have five components:1 Physical and cognitive accessibility – ease of use, vehicle boarding possibilities, availability of sufficient space at the desired time, solutions for passengers with low mobility and special needs; standardised accessibility solutions, intermodality.
