The Paris region recently announced an ambitious subway accessibility renovation project aimed at comprehensively enhancing the inclusiveness and accessibility of the public transportation system, ensuring that all citizens, including those with mobility difficulties, the elderly, passengers carrying strollers or wheelchairs, as well as those with visual and auditory impairments, can conveniently and safely travel on the subway.

As an important component of the modernization strategy of public transportation in the Paris region, this project will cover multiple lines and stations in the Paris metro network. Through a series of carefully designed renovation measures, it will completely eliminate physical barriers, optimize the information accessibility environment, and make the metro a truly national friendly transportation tool.

Renovate or add existing subway platforms, passages, stairs, and elevators to ensure smooth passage of auxiliary equipment such as wheelchairs and baby strollers. At the same time, optimize the gap between the platform and the train to reduce safety hazards when passengers get on and off the train. Enhance the voice prompts, visual guidance, and tactile identification systems of the subway system to provide clear navigation information for people with visual and auditory impairments. For example, installing directional signs with braille signage, adding voice announcement systems, and developing easy to understand graphical interfaces to help passengers quickly and accurately obtain the required information.

Strengthen the training of subway staff, enhance their awareness of accessible services, and ensure that they can quickly and effectively provide assistance to passengers with special needs in emergency situations. At the same time, through promotional and educational activities, we aim to raise public awareness of the importance of accessible transportation. Actively exploring and applying new technologies, such as intelligent navigation apps, wearable devices, etc., to provide passengers with more personalized and convenient barrier free travel solutions. In addition, we will also study how to use big data analysis to optimize subway operations, reduce passenger waiting time, and improve overall travel efficiency.
