Discover, now on PRIM, the Station Accessibility Dataset
The catalog of static data is enriched with the arrival of a new dataset, informing on the possibility of access to stations for people with reduced mobility.
How does it work?
The Accessibility Dataset contains all stations in Île-de-France. It describes the level of accessibility of stations and stop areas.
By going to the PRIM Accessibility in Station page, three visualizations of the dataset are available.
First, a table filling in all the information available in the dataset, i.e.:
- stop_point_id : the identifier of the stop
- accessibility_level_id : the level of accessibility
- accessibility_level_name : the description of the accessibility level
- comment : potential comments on the level of accessibility, such as "Line A and B accessible on request from an agent in the station. Line D not accessible.". The main purpose of this column is to indicate whether the level of accessibility is not the same for all lines serving the same station.
- stop_name: the name of the stop
- stop_point_geopoint : the geographical coordinates of the judgment
Then, a pie chart visualization, available via the "analysis" tab of the dataset, allows you to see the distribution of the Île-de-France rail network according to the level of accessibility.
Finally, an interactive map is available to visualize, at a glance, on each railway line route, the accessibility of its various stations. It is possible to click on a station to see the details of it.
How do accessibility levels work?
There are 4 identifiable levels of accessibility within the dataset:
- Level 1 means that the station or stop is not accessible
- Level 3 means that the train is accessible by prior reservation with the Assist'enGare service
- Level 4 means that the train is accessible on request from an agent at the station
- Level 6 means that the vehicle is accessible autonomously
For level 3 accessibility in the station, the SNCF accepts people who have not booked assistance and guarantees an obligation of means. Nevertheless, for people who have booked assistance, the SNCF must provide an obligation of result.
To book SNCF assistance, you can go to the Assist'enGare platform.
