  • Wiener Lokalbahnen Gmbh, Barrierefreiheit Von Stationen Der Nebenfahrbahn
    TO 25 StRH V - 2/19 Wiener Lokalbahnen GmbH, Barrierefreiheit von Stationen der Nebenbahn StRH V - 2/19 Seite 2 von 79 KURZFASSUNG Die Wiener Lokalbahnen GmbH bzw. die vormalige Aktiengesellschaft der Wiener Lo- kalbahnen erreichte durch ein ambitioniertes Modernisierungsprogramm bei zahlreichen Stationen der Nebenbahn eine deutliche Verbesserung ihrer Benutzbarkeit für Perso- nen mit Behinderungen bzw. mit eingeschränkter Mobilität. Das Modernisierungspro- gramm startete im Jahr 2010 und diente unter anderem der Umsetzung des Etappen- planes Verkehr aus dem Jahr 2006 zur Beseitigung von Barrieren innerhalb der im Bundes-Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz vorgesehenen zehnjährigen Frist. Da das Modernisierungsprogramm für die 19 Stationen der Nebenbahn noch nicht ab- geschlossen war, wiesen einige Stationen noch Barrieren für Rollstuhlfahrende und sehbehinderte bzw. blinde Personen auf. Der Stadtrechnungshof Wien empfahl technische Verbesserungen für Personen mit Behinderungen bzw. mit eingeschränkter Mobilität. Diese betrafen unter anderem schienengleiche Bahnsteigzugänge, taktile Bodenleitsysteme, Handläufe, Wartegele- genheiten, Fahrgastinformationssysteme und Fahrscheinautomaten. Auf eine noch be- stehende Diskriminierung von Rollstuhlfahrenden durch die Beförderungsbedingungen wurde hingewiesen. Die vorliegende Prüfung des Stadtrechnungshofes Wien soll zur Aufrechterhaltung bzw. zum Erreichen der Barrierefreiheit von Stationen der Nebenbahn beitragen.

The approximately 26-kilometer tracks of the Badner Bahn show up as one of the most important public transport connections to the southern area of Vienna. From the Vienna State Opera it goes via the communities of Vösendorf, Wiener Neudorf, Guntramsdorf, Traiskirchen to the spa town of Baden. In just over an hour's journey, the Badner Bahn connects citycenter and country, wine tavern and café culture, “Sommerfrische” and city flair and much more. For around 40,000 passengers a day, the Badner Bahn is a companion on the way to work, on the way to school, on a shopping tour in Europe's largest shopping center or for culture, leisure and excursions into the countryside. Road-rail vehicles (road / rail) are currently used to maintain the company's own route network. These are used, for example, when working on the overhead lines, mowing along the railroad tracks or areas off the rails and are also used in emergencies. Up to now, the vehicles are operated with a conventional internal combustion engine. These combustion engine vehicles are to be replaced by emission-free vehicles in order to implement the Clean Vehicle Directive (EU-directive that is supposed to accelerate the use of alternative drives), to make a contribution to climate protection, and also to take into account the interests of people living next to the route (noise, exhaust gases).

Innerhalb von fünf Jahren traten 38 Unfälle an diesen Eisenbahnkreuzungen auf, die fast ausschließlich fremdverschuldet waren. Die Unfälle waren meist auf die Unachtsamkeit von Kraftfahrerinnen bzw. Kraftfahrern zurückzufüh- ren. Das beabsichtigte Auflassen von einigen technisch nicht gesicherten Eisenbahnkreu- zungen bzw. deren nachträgliche technische Sicherung sowie die Umsetzung von zum Teil bereits vorliegenden Ergebnissen der gemäß Eisenbahnkreuzungsverordnung 2012 österreichweit vorgesehenen behördlichen Überprüfungen aller Eisenbahnkreu- zungen lässt grundsätzlich eine Erhöhung der Verkehrssicherheit an den Eisenbahn- kreuzungen der Aktiengesellschaft der Wiener Lokalbahnen in den kommenden Jahren erwarten.
