This is for all passengers who would find it diffcult ot enter and exit railway coaches from the paltform. I have seen many passengers who would need help / assistance to negotiate the steps to board or exit trains. When we have to travel by train the distance between the platform and the train floor is covered by 2 or 3 steps which are difficult to climb.
My suggestion is to have a collapsible steel ramp which can be retracted into the floor of the train automatically after the boarding is completed & before the train leaves the station .
Similarly when a train halts at a station the Metal ramp can be extended to meet the platform and be ready for people to exit
The width and the thickness should be able to take in a wheel chair based passenger into the train and out of the train.
Each compartment has four doors two pairs at each end of the compartment .
We could have the rmap extending onto whichever side the platform will arrive and this canbe controlled botha t at the engine by the motor man and /or at the rear of the train by the gaurd. they have to just throw a lever / switch to activate the ramp
This will minimize or reduce the difficulties faced by passengers.
These can be set up in phases to cover 1AC, 2 AC, 3 AC , reserved compartments and then general and luggage ( luggage coach dimensions would be different). Additionally this can be experimented and customized prior to finalization on select set of trains from a particluar locaiton such as bangalore
