Re: [AI] Braille stickers in trains for visually-challenged
Hi Srini You can count on these to start until others adds up to these: * Gap between train and platform to be reduced to avoid fatal accidents * Floor of the platform and coach to be on the same level. Especially usefully for wheel chair users * Gap between 2 compartments to be filled up to avoid fatal accidents especially to the blind * Tactile skirting along the edge of the platform to avoid falling of visually impaired on the railway track. * Tactile markings on the platform should lead from compartment for disabled to bridges, escalators, wash-rooms and exits. * Inside the train, in addition to the station announcement, it should announce the direction of the platform, give a steady tone when it is on the platform and make a rising tone when the train is about to start. * Display of Train information and announcements should be prominently displayed so as to enable hearing impaired to get access. * Auditory and Visual announcement of upcoming stations in the train * There should be a separate help-desk for the disabled on all stations for providing assistance to the disabled including wheel chair and escort to the blind. There should be a centralized toll free telephone number which would also be coordinating with these help-desks. * Lift to be accessible for all including wheelchair users to use the cross over bridges and move to platforms * Automated ticket facility should be accessible to all kinds of PWD including visually impaired Online ticketing should also be available while availing concessions provided. * Information Kiosks at Stations should be accessible to all as per Accessibility Guidelines * Provide Sign Language support at help-desk for hearing impaired users * Train schedule available in alternate formats * Accessible Toilets for PWDs * Accessible Tactile Maps * Berth Number in Accessible format * All waiting rooms, cafeterias, night stay accommodation and other facilities provided at the station must be accessible to wheelchair users swell. * have a boarding device such as a portable ramp or a hydraulic lift available on each platform to be used by wheelchair users wanting to board the train. Coolies must be trained in using it * Coolies must be sensitized in assisting disabled passengers Stations should designate reserved parking place for disabled persons.

Amiyo, That would be responsibility of education or any other department that deal with publications. How would that come from Railways except that if you are looking for any Railway publications.

Re: [AI] Braille stickers in trains for visually-challenged

Re: [AI] Some Media Reports on Sambhavana Led Struggle of Disabled in DU
They will have to answer this anyhow in CCPD or if we go to Delhi High Court. Moreover, the movement needs to be intensified. This is in itself a paradigm shift that people are learning about the gloomy picture in DU. So far, a rosey picture was being creating in the media. We have got many evidences of the fact that the current turn is frustrating DU officials. In fact, many places, where students demands were kept in the cold box are now being taken upt expeditiously. I have been told that the University Bus Service has been now made available to some private blind hostels where it was discontinued for quite some time. Similarly, in the faculty of Law, students were demanding for last three years the instalation of a computer for them in the library. Nothing happened. However, imediately after the hunger strike, they have started the work of preparing such a computer for visually challenged students. I have also been told that the work in EOC has also become little more faster after this demonstrationn. This list I am not drawing to be complaisant. On the contary, I am suggesting that the logic of mass action works in very complicated ways; and in the long run, it of course brings the target nearer. The EOC and DU official are not agreeing to these two basic demands: disability summit and empowered committee, because they are afraid that the first will expose the hollowness of their claims; and the second one make EOC less-important if not redundant. In truth, both are baseless fears.

Hi I welcome each and every effort on the path to make an inclusive society. The effort and impact may be big or small, however, it is a step in the right direction. Ideally, the railways and authorities should reach us and include us during the design phase. However, we know for a fact that may not happen. It is therefore necessary for us to call on them and get it done as per our needs. Can we be driving this? Or do we simply keep complaining and waiting for someone else to do it for us?

it is no need of a braille levels on seats, once you remember the multiplication of 8 in sl and 3a coaches and 6 in 2a coaches, it is not difficult to search the desired seat. in 1a coaches seat numbers are not at all required. with this braille level railway is giving a lollipop to crying babies, not a complete food. in media they will also gain popularity and sympathy. - Original Message - From: "Srinivasu Chakravarthula" To: Cc: Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 10:21 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Braille stickers in trains for visually-challenged I agree...

"We are in the process of finalising details of introducing Braille stickers. This is the first time that Indian Railways is exploring such initiative," the official added. The initiative is likely to be announced in the Rail Budget 2013-14, he said. Braille is a writing system which enables visually challenged and partially sighted people to read and write through touch. Recognising the needs of physically challenged persons, the Railways has also decided to provide special arrangements in all mail and express trains to facilitate their travel. "Railways is manufacturing coaches with specially designed compartments and toilets for passengers with disabilities. Now second class luggage room coaches are being modified to facilitate boarding of trains by differently abled travellers," he said. All mail and express trains with modified coaches, known as SLRD (second class luggage rake for disabled) coaches, will have reserved seats for physically challenged persons, official said. Doors of SLRD coaches are being widened to facilitate the boarding of passengers using wheel-chairs. Railways had made a commitment to a parliamentary committee to make special provision for facilitating train boarding for physically challenged passengers. There are total four seats in unreserved category in SLRD coaches and now these have been earmarked exclusively for the physically challenged passengers and their escorts. "Till date approximately 2,300 such coaches have been manufactured and at least one SLRD is provided in almost every mail and express train.

Re: [AI] Update on Talking ATM
Hai friends, Recently SBT in Kerala also has started installing talking ATM. SBT Karimpuzha branch at Kottapuram near to HKCMM school for the Blind in Palakkad district of Kerala has installed one. The blind teachers of the school under the leadership of Mr Anil, assistant teacher, explored the system and found them quite accessible. all of them used the ATM with out any difficulty.

Re: [AI] Braille stickers in trains for visually-challenged
Dear friends, Arushi A Bhopal based voluntary organization took this initiative of sticking Braille labels for seat numbers in Bhopal Nizamuddin Express. In the year 2001. It continued to maintain it for next 7 -8 years on its own. This task has to be undertaken on regular basis because coaches change, or passengers temper With the stickers. Coach Numbers may not be done in Braille because Coaches are not train specific That is why they write coach number with chalk. Railway authorities permitted Arushi volunteers to paste the labels but did not provide any financial assistance for maintenance or to replicate the idea. It therefore became an unviable option for the organization to continue on the project on its own. This initiative was widely covered. In media.

Re: [AI] Braille stickers in trains for visually-challenged
hello, if this is the case, then i really wonder how far it going to help to board the proper coach for visually challenged, as its going to be affixed inside the coach. if it would be adjacent to the door facing the outside then before boarding in to the coach, it may help such vi persons to read and know the coach number. thanks, mukesh.

Re: [AI] Braille stickers in trains for visually-challenged
If my guess is correct, probably coach numbers at the doors and seat / berth numbers.
