 PLATAFORMA BUS is a necessary item at urban transport stops located in areas with curb parking. It saves buses from having to manoeuvre in and out from amongst cars, improving the safety and speed of passenger boarding and alighting, and recovering space for vehicle parking. The platform is constructed in granite grey reinforced concrete, and is installed directly on the roadway with vertical metal anchorage bolts to ensure fixture and avoid lateral movement. It consists of three modular components: central, left and right, all in 18 centimetre high precast concrete units measuring 3m x 1.4 m., with articulated cast aluminium ramps measuring 1.5m x 0.5m to resolve the variable height difference between the pavement and the platform. The three modules include grooves at the edge of the horizontal surface to prevent slippage and improve visibility. The left hand end model includes an interruption of these grooves to make the bus boarding point more detectable. The header modules have slightly rounded alto edges to reduce the effect of impacts. The vertical plane of the perimeter includes strips in relief from contrast that with grading reflective paint, to make them more visible in the dark. The ramps have a grooved surface to prevent passengers from slipping. Their articulation facilitates removal and cleaning work. The most common boarding platforms for conventional bus stops measure 12 or 15 metres, which require four or five modules respectively. At stops served by longer articulated buses, a sixth module is padded to extend the platform to 18 metres. PLATAFORMA BUS, PROTECTOR DE VADO and SEGREGADOR DE CARRIL DE BICICLETA are three formulations that satisfy common city requirements and improve mobility. They were designed by architect Enric Pericas in conjunction with Escofet for installation as a pioneering project in Barcelona. |
