The legislator requires to ensure complete accessibility of underground stations up to 2022. So, the Hamburger Hochbahn AG is driving forward the implementation of these requirements. For a system, in which some stations are more than 100 years old, this is a particular challenge. Especially at stations with running edges, the required clearance for complete accessibility is often not possible due to the geometric interaction of platform and train. To find a solution for this problem, the Hamburger Hochbahn AG together with the TÜV Nord examine the suitability of a so-called "Gap-Filler" profile during a test operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
