Abstract:

Most of movable bridges allow only one traffic mode: The traffic over the bridge is stopped when traffic underneath is active and vice versa. In Geneva, we imagined a bridge based on scissors-pairs mechanism to allow the passing of persons with reduced mobility in its flat position while boat-passing and nonwheelchair pedestrian traffic remain possible in its raised position.
