3.1
clear width
clear usable width
unobstructed width of an open door or clearway to allow passengers to pass through
3.2
clearway
unobstructed space with defined widths and heights to allow movement within a vehicle
3.3
first step
step that is the first step for a passenger to use, to overcome a height change
Note 1 to entry: For the external access/egress steps this will normally be the step that is closest to the platform edge (it may be a fixed or a moveable step), therefore this is the first step when boarding and the last step when alighting.
Note 2 to entry: In the context of steps for internal height changes (other than the external access/egress steps) this means the first usable step when ascending and the edge of the walking floor when descending.
3.4
handrail
continuous element with round cross section for passengers to use to aid personal stability by gripping around
3.5
last step
final step for an ascending passenger to use to overcome a height change, forming the edge of the walking floor
3.6
manual door
unpowered door which the passenger has to physically open and/or close
3.7
palm operable
operable by the palm or any part of the hand, not requiring fingers to be unclenched
Note 1 to entry: The design need is that passengers with painful conditions, which affect their joints such as arthritis, may be unable to (and are likely to experience discomfort or pain if they do) exert any force with the tip of a single finger. Many may not be able to unclench their fingers to do this or perform any pulling action.
3.8
proximity sensor
sensor that can be used to control facilities without the control device being physically touched
3.9
sharp edge
thin edge capable of cutting or an abrupt end or discontinuity of a surface which has the potential to injure a passenger in normal use
3.10
standard toilet
toilet not designed to be accessible to a passenger in a wheelchair
3.11
universal toilet
toilet designed to be used by all passengers including passengers in wheelchairs
3.12
usable width
unobstructed width of an open door or passageway allowing for passengers to pass through
3.13
wheelchair
wheeled personal mobility device
Note I to entry: Wheelchair characteristics are defined in Annex A.
3.14
wheelchair accessible doorway
closest doorway to the wheelchair space (and wheelchair accessible sleeping accommodation, where fitted)
3.15
wheelchair space
designated space in the passenger compartment for the wheelchair users and their wheelchairs
