peer agreement (net): +1sistema de descenso/inclinación Explanation: Literalmente: arrodillarse/inclinarse a la altura adecuada para dar el paso y subir al autobús. Diría que tienen un sistema que les permite inclinar o bajar la carrocería/ plataforma a un nivel más adecuado cercano al piso. Traduciría el párrafo: todos los autobuses están certificados con DOT, y habilitados con sistema de descenso/inclinación. |

peer agreement (net): +1arrodillarse hasta la altura de la acera Explanation: Muchos lo llaman "sistema de arrodillamiento". "El sistema de arrodillamiento (kneeling) permite la inclinación del vehículo..." http://www.tranviascoruna.com/medioambiente-y-accesibilidad/ "sistema de arrodillamiento (Kneeling) y señalización reglamentada." http://www.andujar.es/opencms/export/sites/default/andujar/g... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2015-11-13 10:11:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Si no te gusta el término de "arrodillarse", puedes cambiar la frase un poco y dejarlo como "...y dotados del sistema de arrodillamiento" o "con un sistema que disminuye la altura del piso respecto del suelo" o optar por la sugerencia de Neil (a ver si la publica). Hay muchas formas de decir lo mismo |

| Reference: Ref. Reference information: "A low-floor bus is a bus that has no steps between one or more entrances and part or all of the passenger cabin. Being low floor improves the accessibility of the bus for the public," "Low floors can be complemented by a hydraulic or pneumatic 'kneeling device', which can be used when the bus is not in motion, tilting it or lowering it at the front axle even further, often down to normal curb height. Depending on how close to the curb the bus is parked and wheelchair design, this can allow wheelchair users to board unaided. " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-floor_bus |
