Abstract


The protection of rights and disabled persons' safety are the most sensitive elements of social development policy, and also economic and social policy. Nowadays, disability should be viewed from a human rights perspective. One of the problems pertaining to the employment of persons with physical disabilities is infrastructure (architectural barriers) on the one hand, and organized transport on the other. The main objective of this paper is to consider the issue of transportation for employees with physical disabilities, which is a significant factor for providing employment opportunities for these persons in the Republic of Serbia. The overall aim of this paper is to determine the ergonomically most suitable and economically acceptable technical solution using the AHP method when adapting the existing vehicles into the vehicles intended for the transport of persons with mobility impairments.
