Le document SIST EN 16585-3:2017 aborde de manière exhaustive les exigences spécifiques de conception pour l’utilisation par les personnes à mobilité réduite (PRM) dans le domaine des applications ferroviaires. Sa portée se concentre sur l'évaluation des équipements et des composants des véhicules roulants, soulignant l’importance d’une accessibilité appropriée pour les passagers ayant des besoins particuliers. Un des principaux atouts de cette norme est la clarté des définitions et des exigences relatives au ‘Design for PRM use’. Elle s’assure que les aspects essentiels tels que les dégagements, les portes intérieures et d'autres éléments d’infrastructure soient conçus de manière à permettre un trajet sans obstacle. La norme stipule que ces éléments doivent répondre aux besoins des personnes handicapées et des personnes à mobilité réduite, conformément à la TSI PRM. La standardisation des espaces de circulation et des portes internes dans les trains contribue non seulement au confort, mais aussi à la sécurité des passagers PRM. Grâce à des exigences précises concernant les dimensions minimales et maximales, cette norme assure une uniformité essentielle pour le développement et l’intégration des nouveaux véhicules roulants. De plus, en se concentrant uniquement sur les aspects d’accessibilité spécifiques aux PRM, cette norme évite toute confusion avec les exigences générales de conception, permettant ainsi une application ciblée et efficace des règles. Ce cadre réglementaire favorise une véritable intégration des passagers à mobilité réduite dans le système ferroviaire, tout en respectant les conditions d’exploitation définies. En somme, le document SIST EN 16585-3:2017 représente une avancée significative vers la création d’un environnement ferroviaire accessible, garantissant que tous les passagers, indépendamment de leur mobilité, puissent voyager en toute sécurité et confortablement.

SIST EN 16585-3:2017の標準は、鉄道アプリケーションにおけるPRM(障害者及び移動制約者)利用のための設計に特化した要求事項を定義しています。この標準は、特に車両内部での快適な移動を実現するために必要な要素を網羅しており、PRM旅行者に対する障壁のない移動のための基本的な基準を提供します。 この標準の強みは、PRM TSIに基づいて明確に定義された要件にあります。これにより、障害を持つ方や移動に制約のある方々にとって、鉄道旅行がより利便性の高いものとなります。特に、トイレや座席、立つためのスペースなど、具体的な設備要件を示すことで、実際の運用に即した設計が促進されます。また、明確な寸法に関する基準を示すことで、設計者が具体的かつ実用的な基準を基に作業できるようになっています。 さらに、この標準は、PRM乗客のためのアクセシビリティに特化しており、一般的な要求や定義を含まないため、専門的で集中した内容になっています。その結果、鉄道業界においてPRM利用者のニーズを満たすための重要なガイドラインとして位置づけられています。 この標準の第3部は、クリアウェイと内部扉に関する要求をカバーしており、鉄道車両の内部構造における移動の効率性を高める役割を果たしています。そのため、鉄道事業者や設計者は、この標準を利用することで、より効果的にPRM向けの施設を統一的に設計することが可能となります。 総じて、SIST EN 16585-3:2017は、PRM利用者に配慮した設計において非常に関連性が高く、権威あるツールとして活用されるべきです。

SIST EN 16585-3:2017 표준은 유럽의 철도 애플리케이션에서 PRM 사용을 위한 설계 요구사항을 다루는 중요한 문서로, 특히 롤링 스톡의 클리어웨이 및 내부 문에 대한 세부 사항을 포함하고 있습니다. 이 표준은 장애인 및 이동이 제한된 사람들을 위한 접근성을 개선하기 위해 고안되었으며, PRM TSI에서 정의된 요건에 따라 다루어집니다. 이 표준의 주요 강점 중 하나는 장애인과 이동이 제한된 사용자가 편리하게 이용할 수 있도록 명확한 요구사항과 정의를 제공한다는 점입니다. 문서에서는 장애물 없는 여행을 위한 필수 요소, 즉 화장실, 좌석, 이동 공간 및 클리어웨이와 내부 문 등을 포함한 다양한 구성 요소를 다루고 있어, 실질적인 접근성을 높이는 기준을 마련하고 있습니다. 특히, 클리어웨이는 승객의 안전하고 원활한 이동을 보장하는 핵심 요소로, PRM 사용자의 편의를 고려한 설계 방향이 잘 반영되어 있습니다. 또한, 이 표준은 관리와 평가의 절차를 포함하여 적용 가능성을 보여주며, 롤링 스톡이 정의된 작동 조건에서 작동된다는 가정 하에 작성되었습니다. 이는 사용자와 운영자 모두에게 보다 나은 이해를 돕고, 실제 적용에서의 일관성을 보장합니다. 제시된 최소 및 최대 치수는 절대적인 기준으로 한정되어 있어, 기술적 수행의 정확성과 효과성을 강조합니다. SIST EN 16585-3:2017은 PRM 승객을 염두에 두고 설계된 장비 및 구성 요소의 표준을 제공하여, 접근성과 사용자 경험을 향상시킵니다. 이는 현대 철도 시스템에서 필수적인 요소로, 관련성을 잃지 않는 진화하는 요구 사항에 대응할 수 있는 근본적인 기준이 됩니다. 이러한 점에서, 본 표준은 장애인과 이동성 제한이 있는 사람들의 니즈를 충족시키기 위한 중요한 기초를 마련하는 문서라고 할 수 있습니다.

Die Norm EN 16585-3:2017 für "Eisenbahnanwendungen - Design für PRM-Nutzung - Ausstattungen und Komponenten an Bord von Schienenfahrzeugen - Teil 3: Durchgänge und Innentüren" stellt eine maßgebliche Grundlage für die Gestaltung von Schienenfahrzeugen dar, die für Personen mit Mobilitätseinschränkungen konzipiert sind. Die Norm beschreibt spezifische Anforderungen, die bei der Planung und Konstruktion von rollendem Material berücksichtigt werden müssen, um eine barrierefreie Nutzung zu gewährleisten. Die Stärken dieser Norm liegen in ihrer klaren Fokussierung auf die Bedürfnisse von Personen mit Behinderungen und Personen mit eingeschränkter Mobilität. Die definierten Anforderungen und Begriffe sorgen für ein einheitliches Verständnis der Bedingungen, die für die barrierefreie Reise erforderlich sind. Dies ist besonders relevant für den Einsatz von Sanitäranlagen, Sitzgelegenheiten, Haltegriffen und insbesondere für die Aspekte der Clearways und intern Türen, die hier im Detail behandelt werden. Ein weiterer bedeutender Aspekt ist, dass die Norm in absoluten Mindest- und Höchstmaßen formuliert ist, die die tatsächlichen Anforderungen widerspiegeln und Verwirrungen hinsichtlich nominaler Werte vermeiden. Diese Herangehensweise unterstützt die Hersteller und Planer dabei, klare und präzise Maßnahmen zur Erfüllung der Accessibility-Anforderungen für PRM-Passagiere umzusetzen. Darüber hinaus wird durch die Trennung der Norm in mehrere Teile, wobei jeder Teil unterschiedliche Elemente behandelt, eine systematische und umfassende Abdeckung aller relevanten Aspekte des Designs für PRM-Nutzung gewährleistet. Teil 3 konzentriert sich spezifisch auf Clearways und interne Türen, was für die Zugänglichkeit und den Komfort von entscheidender Bedeutung ist. Insgesamt stellt die EN 16585-3:2017 eine wesentliche Ressource für die Gestaltung von Schienenfahrzeugen dar, die den Anforderungen an Barrierefreiheit gerecht wird. Die Norm fördert nicht nur die Gleichstellung im öffentlichen Verkehr, sondern leistet auch einen wertvollen Beitrag zu einem inklusiveren Mobilitätssystem.

The standard EN 16585-3:2017 provides comprehensive guidelines for the design of railway applications specifically aimed at ensuring accessibility for persons with reduced mobility (PRM). This document falls under the broader European Standard framework for 'Design for PRM use,' focusing particularly on equipment and components onboard rolling stock. One of the key strengths of EN 16585-3:2017 is its detailed scope, which explicitly outlines the requirements necessary for clearways and internal doors. This specificity allows manufacturers and designers to implement solutions that facilitate obstacle-free travel, thereby enhancing the overall experience for disabled persons and those with reduced mobility. The standard adeptly addresses universal elements, making it relevant not only for compliance but also for fostering inclusivity in transport systems. Furthermore, the standard emphasizes the importance of practical applications, clearly stating that its definitions and requirements should apply directly to rolling stock, assuming the vehicles are in their defined operating condition. This practical focus ensures that the guidelines aren't just theoretical but are applicable in real-life scenarios. The document's organization into parts is another strength. While Parts 1 and 2 cover toilets and elements such as handholds, seats, and wheelchair spaces, Part 3 concentrates on clearways and internal doors. This division allows for targeted attention on specific components crucial for PRM accessibility, ensuring thorough treatment of each aspect, which is vital for achieving a fully accessible railway environment. Moreover, the clarity of absolute minimum or maximum dimensions provided in the standard reinforces its applicability, requiring that these measures be adhered to strictly without interpretation, which is essential for ensuring consistent accessibility features across rolling stock. In summary, EN 16585-3:2017 is a vital standard that effectively addresses accessibility for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility within railway applications. Its clear scope, detailed specifications, and structured approach make it a key reference document for railway manufacturers and designers aiming to improve PRM use in transportation.
