  1. SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME PRIORITY 6.2: Sustainable Surface Transport FP6-2003-Transport-3 PROJECT OVERVIEW

  2. GOAL OF THE PROJECT Achieve quality and equality of access to public transport in the E.U.. WHO DO IT? A group of stakeholders: end users, designers, manufacturers, operators and authorities. HOW? Promoting and supporting the networking and coordination of research and innovation activities in the field of universal design of accessibility systems for public transport between the group of stakeholders.

  3. Many accessibility devices are too often out of order. • Travelling making several connections has frequently discontinuities in the disabled accessibility. • Extraordinary measures have been applied to “solve the problem”. • The access of disabled people causes anger in drivers and travellers without mobility problems as well as frustration and embarrassment in people with disability. • Design for all is getting more and more importance in fields such as house building, while transport seems to stick to differentiated access systems. CURRENT SITUATION

  4. GIAT (Group of Interest in Accessibility to Transport) • is group formed by three Spanish companies with common interests in the field of the accessibility to transport, they are: • GIAT-EUVE (European Virtual Engineering) • contributes its expertise in computer aided design and prototyping focused on engineering as well as its expertise in managing projects of design of technical aids and in managing large thematic networks. • GIAT-FINE (Fine Products, S.A.) • contributes its expertise as a successful industrial designer and manufacturer of disabled accessibility devices for both trains and buses. • GIAT-ICAVI (Engineering of life quality)) • contributes its know-how in the range of technical aids, their distribution by governments, and the training of end-users to use them as well as the dissemination of information to end-users and governments. LIST OF THE PARTNERS (1/3)

  5. ENIL(European Network of Independent Living ) • pursues the goal of achieving independent living conditions for people with disabilities, so the goal of this project can be included within this more general goal. This association will extend its activity in the field of transport. This association will extend its activity in the field of transport by taking part in this project. • COCEMFE(Spanish Confederation of People with Disabilities ) • contributes the user requirements of people with disabilities in the field of accessibility to transport. • SINTEF(The Foundation of Scientific and Industrial Research at the Norwegian Institute of Techonolgy) • contributes its expertise in computer aided design and prototyping focused on usability and geometrical shape as well as its experience in coordinating complex research projects among many partners. LIST OF THE PARTNERS (2/3)

  6. AGE (European Older People's Platform ) • contributes the user requirements of older people in the field of accessibility to transport. • CRF (FIAT Research Centre ) • contributes its expertise on full automobile and bus design and manufacture with a focus on ergonomic aspects and their compatibility with vehicle functions. • STS (Siemens SGP Verkehrstechnik ) • contributes its expertise on railway and subway rolling stock design and manufacturing. • POLIS (Cities and regions networking for innovative transport solutions ) • brings into the project the voice of authorities in the field of transport. • RATP (Regie Autonome des Transports Parisiens ) • brings into the project the voice of transport operators.
