BURRI and ZICLA® Vectorial® System share common values and a shared motivation to shape public spaces in cities and municipalities in a sustainable, inclusive, and user-friendly way. The Spanish company is the leading manufacturer of modular, ecologically designed, temporarily and permanently usable, reusable and recyclable element systems with a low ecological footprint for a wide variety of applications in public space. One of these is the Vectorial® System for the cost-effective, standards-compliant, and rapid installation of (temporary or permanent) barrier-free public transport stops. The Vectorial® System is now available in Switzerland from BURRI. The Vectorial® System is a sustainable and modular all-rounder that enables stops to be quickly, easily, and cost-effectively transformed into obstacle-free boarding platforms that comply with the Disability Equality Act (BehiG). Thanks to its modular design principle, a platform can be built in various lengths, widths, and heights. With different surface textures, add-on parts, and colours, the Vectorial® System is highly versatile and can be configured to meet individual requirements. It can also be easily reused at other locations. The most important aspects are:
The Vectorial® System is compelling from a social perspective because it offers municipalities an easy-to-use tool for a pragmatic, fast, and effective solution in their efforts to implement the Disability Equality Act (BehiG) by the end of 2023. It is economically attractive because it can be procured at a low cost and installed quickly. Much more expensive \"alternatives\" such as replacement services with transport providers or unsightly provisional \"solutions\" are a thing of the past. From an ecological point of view, it is valuable because the elements are made exclusively from recycled and recyclable materials. They can be reused multiple times and, at the end of their service life, can be returned to the material cycle without restrictions or a guilty conscience. The Vectorial® System also enables other exciting applications beyond public transport stops. Examples include parklets for the rapid conversion of parking spaces into recreation areas or traffic islands for uncomplicated traffic calming. Due to its versatility, the Vectorial® System can also be used for test layouts in road spaces (e.g. adjustments to roadway geometry) or for expanding sidewalks or delineating traffic zones for bicycles.
