OBJECTIVES
 Understand the problems of mobility of motor disabled citizens;
 Shape the multimodal network of public transport in the city of Lisbon;
 Identify the terms of services adapted to these citizens;
 Detect the vulnerabilities of public transport network in providing services to motor
disabled citizens.

THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Study Area - City of Lisbon
Date - 2010/2011
Public Transport:
 Roads Transport – Carris
 Railway Transport (Train) – CP and Fertagus
 Subway Transport (Metropolitan) – ML
 Fluvial Transport – Transtejo / Soflusa

MOTOR DISABLE CITIZENS
“Um cidadão portador de deficiência motora é um indivíduo que por lesão ou
deformação, congénita ou adquirida, tenha um grau de incapacidade igual ou superior
a 60%, desde que a mesma possa causar dificuldades de orientação e mobilidade na
via pública” (Decreto-Lei n.º 163/2006)
A motor disabled individual needs special mobility conditions and access to the
infrastructures and transports, such as:
Lifts;
Travelators;
Access ramps;

METHODOLOGY

FINAL REMARKS AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
 Awareness to the needs for adaptation and maintenance of the public transports
infrastructures;
 Further development and improvement of the network modelling;
 Availability of the network model mainly to support institutions focused on improving
disabled citizens lives and for scientific investigation;
 Creation of an App for mobile devices and online platforms.
