Our challenge is to help make the streets of these cities more accessible, inclusive and friendly with a low environmental footprint. Accessibility is fundamental to urban life. Typically, the solution to accessibility issues at city streets has been to invest in costly public works. Vectorial® system allows cities to quickly transform the urban space and improve accessibility without permanently compromising the use of public space with a very low cost. Vectorial® system allows rapid transformation of urban space through the construction of quick-build street configurations. For example, it allows to improve accessibility to the buses at bus stops, to resolve the conflict that arises when a bike lane intersects a bus stop, and to build up raised buffers and pedestrian refuges, all of them, in a very short time and with a very low cost. ZICLA offers this guide to show practitioners the full range of quick-build street configurations that are possible to implement thanks to Vectorial® system.

The Vectorial® system is made of a series of components that connect as if they were pieces of a puzzle to create a great variety of configurations. For the design process, a static load equivalent to that transmitted by a bus tire that mounts the platform was taken into consideration. The modules are hollow to reduce their weight, but at the same time they have a ribbed structure to guarantee the best behavior against static and dynamic loads. User Guide Accessible, inclusive, friendly streets with a small environmental footprint.COMPONENTS. 5 The main module has a cubic form with hollow sections to reduce weight and ribs to improve its behavior against static and dynamic loads. Each module is linked to the next one through a series of interconnecting joinings and can be anchored to the pavement of the street when it is necessary. 23 lb 9 oz. 19 lb 13 oz of CO2 equiv/u.

Each CURB has two longitudinal retroreflective stripes which make them visible day and night. Retroreflectance is achieved by glass microspheres incorporated on the painted stripes surface. There are three types of CURBS: front facing CURB, RIGHT CURB AND LEFT CURB. The combination of the three of them allows the complete protection of the perimeter of the platform. Every CURB must be anchored to the pavement of the street. 19lb 1oz. 23lb 10 oz of CO2 equiv/u.

BUS BOARDER. Vectorial® system installed in-lane bus boarders improve accessibility of citizens to the buses because it provides an opportunity for near-level or level boarding. They also create more walking space on the sidewalk and make the street more predictable by solving bike-bus conflicts at stops. The physical configuration of the bus boarder platforms needs to be adapted considering the size of design vehicles, the volume of transit, the number of headways and the presence of bike lanes. The width of the bus boarder must meet accessibility requirements (ADA, 810.2.2.). It should also be determined according to the existing sidewalk’s width or the dimensions of the dock. The length of the bus boarder is determined by the length of the design vehicles to guarantee that it is long enough to serve all doors of at least one design vehicle. The available bus boarder configurations are the following ones: User Guide Accessible, inclusive, friendly streets with a small environmental footprint.CONFIGURATIONS. 11 Vectorial® System 40 ft BUS 82 ft BUS 60 ft BUS 40 ft BUS x 2 A Boarding Bulb Stop is an extension that aligns the transit stop with the parking lane, creating an in-lane stop. Boarding bulbs enable transit vehicles to stop without making large lateral shifts. This is the recommended configuration when the site is connected to a sidewalk. Access to the boarding bulb stop is done through the RAMP TO THE SIDEWALK component. BOARDING BULB STOP.

This type of setup is separated from the sidewalk by a bike channel, eliminating conflicts between transit vehicles and bikes at stops. For both streetcars and buses, boarding islands allow the creation of accessible in-lane stops with near-level or level boarding. This is the recommended configuration when the site is not connected to a sidewalk. Access to the floating island boarder is done from ground level of the RAMPS TO THE ROAD. FLOATING ISLAND BOARDER.

Accessible, inclusive, friendly streets with a small environmental footprint.PROPERTIES. 16 Vectorial® System User Guide Rainwater or excess water from cleaning processes does not accumulate on Vectorial® system platforms because they drain towards the road in three different ways: 1.On the surface toward the perimeter. 2.Through the drains of each main module. 3.Through the joints between components. The water also flows underneath the MAIN MODULES and CURBS towards the street’s sewers through the spaces between the base of these modules and the road surface. In addition, the gap between the existing sidewalk and the Vectorial® system bus boarder allows a free flow of rainwater underneath – with a standard clear horizontal space of 1 ft 3 3/4 in. Furthermore, this is a swinging ramp, which facilitates the cleaning of leaves and other types of residues that may accumulate under the ramp and could obstruct the flow of water.

Even though the Vectorial® system adapts itself very well to both the surface texture and the road topography thanks to its flexibility, it is very important to inspect beforehand whether there are potholes or bumps, because they could alter the connection among its different components. In most cases, potholes or bumps can be fixed with a levelling layer of cold or hot asphalt or with concrete. No major resurfacing work is needed. For more details about the recommendations of the repair works that may be applied to improve the installation conditions refer to Annex 2: Installation Surface Repairs. For the cases in which the road surface is irregular or it has a slope greater than allowed by the ADA, it would be necessary to adapt the pavement conditions. The ADA establishes that slopes at boarding areas shall not be steeper than 1:48. RAMPS TO THE SIDEWALK shall not have a running slope steeper than 1:10. When ADA Standards are not fulfilled, it would be required to make levelling works on the pavement in order to comply with these requirements. For more information regarding ADA compliance at Vectorial® system bus boarders, please refer to Annex 3: ADA.

If Vectorial® system components are not installed correctly, their service life may be shortened. When choosing the type of anchor, a series of mechanical criteria should be considered. It is necessary to keep in mind that Vectorial® system components must be able to withstand impact and friction loads generated by bus wheels. As these components are anchored to the road surface, every impact or friction loads are transmitted to the asphalt through the anchoring system. For this reason, it is important that these anchors, as well as the road surface, can withstand these loads. For all the details about the recommended types and dimensions of the anchors to be used, please refer to Annex 4: Anchorage Recommendations. Anchoring Vectorial® system components.

The choice of the type of anchorage and its correct installation is essential to achieve optimal performance of the Vectorial® system. If Vectorial® system components are not installed correctly, their service life may be shortened. When choosing the type of anchor, a series of mechanical criteria should be considered. It is necessary to keep in mind that Vectorial® system components must be able to withstand impact and friction loads generated by bus wheels. As these components are anchored to the road surface, every impact or friction loads are transmitted to the asphalt through the anchoring system. For this reason, it is important that these anchors, as well as the road surface, can withstand these loads Anchoring Vectorial® system components.
