Regarding the EU regulations, the present public transportation systems must be accessible for everyone without any restrictions. The relevant question is: how can trains be accessible to everyone? A huge variety of different vehicles and different platforms does not allow level boarding everywhere, but only in the so-called "closed" systems. In all other situations some technical aids for the people with reduced mobility are needed. The paper gives an overview of the requirements for new boarding assistance systems as well as of the recent results in development of the lift system for UIC-coaches within the EU-cofounded project Public Transportation Accessibility for All (PubTrans4All).

POBOLJŠANJE PRISTUPAČNOSTI ŽELEZNIČKIH VOZILA ZA OSOBE SA TEŠKOĆAMA PRI KRETANJU
Propisi Evropske unije zahtevaju da javni transportni sistemi moraju bit pristupačni za sve ljude bez ograničenja. Stoga se postavlja pitanje: kako obezbediti da šinska vozila budu pristupačna za sve. Ulaz u nivou, kao jedino kompletno rešenje tog problema, je moguć samo u takozvanim zatvorenim šinskim sistemima kao što su na primer metro-sistemi. Velika raznolikost različitih vozila i različitih perona u najvećem broju šinskih sistema onemogućava takvo rešenje i zahteva odgovarajuća tehnička pomoćna sredstava za osobe sa teškoćama pri kretanju. U ovom radu je dat pregled zahteva za jedan novi uređaj za pomoć putnicima pri ulasku u šinska vozila. Prikazani su rezultati projekta "Public Transportation Accessibiliy for All" sufinansiranog od strane Evropske unije u kome je razvijen prototip novog lifta za osobe u invalidskim kolicima za železničke UIC vagone.
