Barrier Free Architecture, Nagpur Railway Station

The document discusses barrier free accessibility features at a railway station. It describes the design of ramps and stairs to allow wheelchair and disabled access, including recommended dimensions and slopes. It also covers accessibility of rest areas, drinking water, signage, trains, and other facilities through measures like texture differences, color contrast, and battery-operated vehicles to aid mobility. However, some areas still lack provisions for wheelchair users and disabled access, such as ATMs and entrance to some trains.
