Features of the organization of the Barrier-Free space for Passengers at rail way stations of the Republic of Belarus
The analysis of the state of barrier-free space at railway stations of the Republics of Belarus was carried out according to the National Plan for the implementation of the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for 2017-2025. Within the framework of this plan, the formation of a barrier-free space is the most important condition for ensuring equal opportunities for people with disabilities and physically weakened persons to participate in society. This area of activity is especially relevant for railway transport, which is characterized by increased carrying capacity and is the most in demand for the transportation of passengers, both in regional and long-distance communications. However, railway stations, aprons, as well as passenger platforms located between the tracks, have an established infrastructure that cannot always be reconstructed based on safety requirements and restrictions on the area of passenger platforms.
