    Abstract:

    Improving accessibility to rail systems for persons with disabilities is a governmental assignment to the Swedish Transport Administration. In this paper, we address this issue and discuss on how to obtain quality assured measurements of accessibility. We focus mainly on the accessibility definition, the validity of the measurements and the measurement uncertainty. By defining an accessibility measure that is multiplicative, we obtain a measure that represents the different barriers persons can face when travelling.
