Accessibility
The flat floor and wide-opening doors allow for easy boarding and alighting.
The entire ULTra system has been designed to allow for ease of use by all groups of people, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits it has to offer. Disability groups have tested the system and commented very favourably on the attractions of the system, and ULTra PRT has been involved in discussion with the UK Government mobility groups including DPTAC (Disabled Persons Transport Advisory Committee) since the start of the design to maximise accessibility to both stations and vehicles.
The ULTra vehicle is fully ADA and DDA compliant.
Vehicle Accessibility
The vehicle features a flat floor which aligns accurately with stations to allow safe and easy access for push chairs, wheelchairs, luggage and people, meeting the access requirements for both the UK (Disability Discrimination Act, DDA) and the US (Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA).
In addition, the vehicle controls, lighting and information systems are designed to the latest standards to aid usability.
The ULTra stations are designed to facilitate a quick and easy start to your journey.
Station Accessibility
Stations may be located above ground, at ground level, below ground, or even directly inside buildings (due to the virtually silent nature of the electric vehicles). Wherever the station is located, full access is provided by the means most suited to the location (e.g. stairs and elevators).
In addition, stations can be enclosed or open-air, always providing at least a minimal covering above the berth area, and are designed to be suitable for 24-hour operations.
