MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

• The accessibility to the physical environment refers to the quality they have spaces for anyone, even those affected by mobility and communication disabilities, may:Reaching all sites and buildings without overexertion and autonomy.Access to public use facilities and services that provide safe and autonomy.

• City bus platformsAccessible buses.For rise and fall, city buses are accessible if the following requirements:The buses are "low floor" or "low floor", so that passengers can access the bus without having to climb stairs, or have an automatic lifting platform, located in the central part suitable for wheelchairs 0.80 m. width and mode

MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

• At least one of the doors are accessible without any step there.The doors incorporate the full width bars, to 0.70 m. and 0.90 m. high respectively, so they can be used as handles. These gates are indicated by a bright color or contrasting with the rest of the bus.

• Audible warning devices are installed

and location of the light gate. These advertisers are at work when you open the door.If the bus is low floor, will be marked with phosphorescent-reflective colors, the outermost edge of the platform of the bus. In the event that the bus is low floor, is signaled to the colors above the outer edges of the steps.

ECOLOGICAL BUSES • Using public transport instead of

private vehicles helps reduce pollution in large cities.However, the buses, by consuming fossil fuels, also emit harmful gasses into the environment. Therefore, ecological buses fitted with clean energy sources such as recycled cooking oil, hydrogen or natural gas contribute to a healthier life in our cities

• The new low floor buses and the new natural gas engine are new to betting on the city bus use greener and more efficient. Employment in urban traffic offers the ideal conditions to exploit the braking energy. The bus speed on the edge of each stop and slow to reach the next to a stop. By slowing, conventional buses transform kinetic energy into waste heat, while the bus takes ecological cumulative braking energy to accelerate from stop organically and with a low noise

INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION • Exchangers meet a variety of modes in

the same place walking, bus, tram, metro, train, car or plane. The heat exchanger main function is to ensure a smooth correspondence between modes of transport connected.The image shows a cross section of a heat exchanger in

Madrid.

BIKE in modal• The bicycle

It is a non-polluting means of transport (does not produce toxic fumes, or noise pollution). From the ecological point of view, there is no comparison. If you take a pollution index 100 for the car, the bike gives an index 0. The data come from the UPI report, Heidelberg, 1989, quoted by the German ministry of transport .

BICYCLE in modal • Intermodality n is the communication

between modes. For example, take the bike to the station and there take the train. The possibilities are as many as intermodal transport is available if there comunicación between them. Intermodality between bicycle and mass public transport (train, bus, metro) allows avoiding unsustainable car rides that cause so much environmental damage (from pollution acoustics and air), social (and terrible accidents consequences). BIKE IN REGIONAL PLANNING

• Segregated routesAre those which pass thealong a route which alsomotor vehicles here, and that intended to delimit a portionspecific width of the track to bicycles. Examples of routessegregated are "bike paths" or the "sidewalk" bicycle ". Constructionusually aimed at the promotion of cycling.
