This is a text about planning space in railway carriages to make it possible for people in wheelchairs to use, without extra manoeuvring.

Die Lichtraumprofilerweiterung muss immer kurveninnenseitig erfolgen und kann durch drei verschiedene Linienführungen definiert werden.
1. Es wird eine Gerade gezogen zwischen dem grössten Lichtraumprofilwert gemäss Spalte 2 der obigen Tabelle und dem Beginn der Lichtraumprofilerweiterung gemäss Spalte 3 der Tabelle.
2. Zwischen dem Beginn der Lichtraumprofilerweiterung und dem grössten Wert gemäss Spalte 2 der Tabelle wird ein Kreisbogen mit tangentialem Anfang beim Beginn der Lichtraumprofilerweiterung, gezogen.

:
Bei engen Radien sind hier geringfügige Korrekturen im Lichtraumprofil notwendig und die Ausrundung des Neigungsbruchs im Obergang aus der Steigung in die Ebene darf 300 m nicht unterschreiten.

:
At small radii here are some slight adjustment of gauge necessary and the rounding of the slope break in the transition from the slope in the plane must not be less than 300 m.

Other references:

It is shown that the lateral displacements of rails and the dynamic gauge enlargement are decreased by 67% after the small-radius curved track is strengthened, although the lateral wheel/rail forces on the strengthened track are a little larger than those on the original un-strengthened wooden sleeper track.

Both were railways of 5ft gauge. Its extension to Bristol, Temple Mead, the terminus of the Great Western Railway and the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and from Westerleigh near Coalpit Heath to Standish Junction, Stonehouse where it was to join the Cheltenham and Great Western Union Railway, and the enlargement of the gauge to 7ft, were subsequently sanctioned.

Rehabilitation and consolidation of the structure impose a higher level of loading
and the enlargement of the gauge.

Only one link for "enlargement of the clearance" "railways":

The associated enlargement of the clearance area was designed, according to the approved prospective study for the Prague - Ruzyně airport, with a space reserve for the construction of Terminal III and Terminal IV.
