KVB.
The existing rail network of the Stadtbahn in Cologne is continuously being expanded. The new construction of the KVB-Nord-Süd-Fahrt comprised 7 underground stations with 1, 2 and 4 lifts, which were equipped with our panels according to EN81-70, landing stations and call columns.
The barrier-free accessibility for everyone and a corresponding design of the lifts was a requirement for this project. Among other things, the installation of our tactile large-size pushbuttons (XLQ) with Braille lettering and appropriately designed optical and acoustic signals ensure an easy operation and unrestricted use, even by persons with disabilities.
Due to our voice announcement DSA2, a clear perception of the announcements is guaranteed, even with loud background noises as is usual at train stations.
