- Benno Schmid (Unlicensed)
NeTEx uses a uniform set of components to describe the accessibility of sites and services, based on an ACCESSIBILITY ASSESSMENT. The use of a system of assessment makes it possible to compute the overall accessibility of a route for a given need.
AccessibilityAssessment (Subcomponent – Multipurpose)
Assessment for accessibility purposes of limitations of environment and/or SUITABILITies for one or more USER NEEDs of a component

AccessibilityLimitation (Subcomponent of AccessibilityAssessment)
A categorisation of the ACCESSIBILITY characteristics to indicate the usability by passengers with specific needs, for example, those needing wheelchair access, step-free access or wanting to avoid confined spaces such as lifts.
A small number of well-defined categories are used that are chosen to allow the consistent capture of data and the efficient computation of routes for different classes of user.
