Abstract (en)

The platform is designed around a central frame (4) supported slidably between two fixed beams (5a, 5b) anchored to the chassis (1) of a railway carriage and traversed by a suitable drive (6) across the carriage axis so as to extend sideways from either one of the two doorways (2a, 2b) afforded by the vestibule; the frame (4) incorporates two decks (7) on which to support a wheelchair (9), located on opposite sides in a common plane and independently driven by belts (10) in such a way as to enable their vertical movement, when the central frame (4) is extended, between a position of horizontal alignment with the frame and a lowered position at the level of the trackside surface (3) beneath. <IMAGE>
