Course content
Introduction in questions of barriers in public transport. History of accessible environment creation. Technical terms. Basic principles of motion, orientation and communication of persons wit reduced mobility (PRM). Fundamental parameters and characteristic of accessible environment in public transport (PT) and public areas (PA) for PRM. Tactile arangements for visually impaired people. Arangements for people with reduced motion. Accessible ground communications. Accessible railway platforms. Accessibility analysis of PT and PA environment. Methodology of accessible routes design in town / city.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
The main aim of the subject is to inform students about the questions of accessibility of public transport for the persons with reduced mobility (PRM). Students are informed about the barriers and about possible ways of barriers removing as well. The knowledge about the principles and conditions of unsupported and safe motion, orientation and communications of these passengers are implemented into the subject as well.
The graduates of the subject will be able to refer and think about the specifics of public transport and following space in the point of view of accessibility for persons with reduced mobility (PRM). Students will be able to propose basic barrier-free solution in all subsystems of public transport and in the following space.
Prerequisites
unspecified

Assessment methods and criteria
