ABOUT THE USER GUIDE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL.
It is estimated that by 2050 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. 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.

Vectorial® System
Vectorial® system
components.
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.

The CURB distributes the lateral loads transmitted by bus tires to the whole platform, as well
as guaranteeing the stability and inalterability of the installed components. 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.

The RAMP TO THE SIDEWALK is a hinged ramp off with a length equivalent to two MAIN MODULES
that connects the platform and the existing sidewalk. It is linked to the platform by employing
a galvanized steel rod.
This RAMP TO THE SIDEWALK component allows the free flow of rainwater underneath it.
Besides, this is a hinged ramp – this means that it can be lifted to facilitate the cleaning of dirt
that may accumulate underneath to allow the free flow of rainwater.

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:

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.

Floating Island Boarders are dedicated
waiting and boarding areas for passengers
that streamline transit service and improve
accessibility by enabling in-lane stops. 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.

SHARED CYCLE TRACK BOARDER.
In shared cycle track boarders, a bike lane
or protected bike lane rises and runs along
the boarding area, along the extended CURB,
rather than wrapping behind the boarding
area. Bicyclists can ride through the boarding
area when no transit vehicles are present but
must yield the space to boarding and alighting
passengers.
This is the recommended configuration when

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.

Color can be used to delineate modal zones and edges; for instance, bike zones or crossings may be green. Consistently using detectable surfaces
or color contrast assists all users, enhancing safety and accessibility.
The repetition reinforces legibility and should be employed at conflict zones, flush crossings, or likely sites for encroachment. Color - coded
detectable warning strips can draw attention to conflict points.
The surface of Vectorial® system components can be painted either in situ or in ZICLA’s factory. The decision is made considering the needs of
each installation project.

INSTALLATION SITE ASSESSMENT.
Planning the installation.
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.

Vectorial® System Installation Manual
Accessible, inclusive, friendly streets with a small environmental footprint.INSTALLATION SITE ASSESSMENT
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.
For all the details about the recommended types and dimensions of the anchors to be used, please refer to Annex 4: Anchorage Recommendations.

As it can be seen in Figure 2, after connecting 6 MAIN MODULES WITH HINGE, a 6ft. 7 in. ROD must be inserted. This must be repeated until the
complete length of the bus boarder has been completed. To facilitate the insertion of the ROD, it is advisable to use lubricant so that it slides in
easier (figure 2). Avoid the coincidence of the rod with the end of the ramp, since this could create difficulties to lift the RAMPS TO THE SIDEWALK.

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
