This video is an interim outcome of an iMOVE project funded by the Australasian Centre for Rail Innovation, supported by the Federal Government. The gap between a railway station platform and any train represents a major hazard and risk for all passengers boarding and exiting trains. This risk is amplified for mobility device users, people with a disability, the elderly, and young children. The risk of slips, trips, falls, entrapment, and injury is ever present. This project provides a fact base to recognise the problem as well as a pathway to a solution by testing proof of concept prototype/s. It is proposed to work closely with mobility device users and other vulnerable users, to test and assess the effectiveness of a range of existing platform gap solutions; and a modular, automatic ramp that can be placed permanently on the platform (or train carriage) and only rise and/or extend when needed.
