N2  - A general view of existing and planned innovations in technology and systems in Canada relating to the transportation of citizens with motor, hearing, sight, speech, or cognitive impairment is presented. Treatment of urban transportation highlights various advances in technology relevant to parallel modes. For example, the award-winning design of a wheelchair-securement/passenger-restraint system is described. Developments related to interurban systems are shown to be comprehensive because they cover problems experienced by special-needs travelers within air, rail, and surface modes, both at terminals and in transit. Canada's less-extensive applications in rural settings are also discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
