Actuation device for a public transport vehicle
An actuation device for a public transport vehicle to avoid transmission of bacteria during the actuation. The device can be actuated by a predefined contactless actuation gesture, the device having a sensor unit that measures without contact and an evaluation unit, which is connected to the sensor unit. The sensor unit can generate a sensor signal transmit the sensor signal to the evaluation unit when an object, in particular a finger or a hand of a person, performs, within a detection space of the sensor unit, a movement at a distance from the actuation device, the signal being dependent on the movement sequence of the movement. The evaluation unit can check whether the movement is a predefined contactless actuation gesture, by which the actuation device can be actuated. If the movement is such an actuation gesture, a control signal is generated for a device of the vehicle.
Rail vehicle with fully integrated wheelchair zone
A rail vehicle for transporting passengers includes at least one wheelchair zone, at least one boarding door, at least one sanitary unit, and at least one galley. The sanitary unit and the galley are disposed between the boarding door and the wheelchair zone.
