Platform Doors: Safety First

The Aeromovel system implements automated platform doors as a crucial measure to ensure passenger safety. These doors serve as a physical barrier between the platform and the tracks, preventing accidents and significantly enhancing the safety of boarding and alighting. The primary function of these doors is to prevent passengers from approaching the vehicles before they arrive, or even the elevated track, thereby mitigating the risk of falls or other accidents at the site.

Benefits of Platform Doors

Safety

Platform doors are an effective barrier for controlling unauthorized access to the tracks, reducing the risk of accidents. They ensure a smooth and secure journey for all passengers by protecting them from potential falls or collisions with moving vehicles. The presence of these doors guarantees that passengers do not have access to the vehicle before the safety doors open, thus preventing any potential injury during boarding or alighting.

Flow Optimization

In addition to promoting safety, platform doors help optimize passenger flow. They guide movement in an orderly manner, facilitating the formation of more organized and efficient queues. This contributes to faster and more orderly boarding and alighting, improving user experience and operational efficiency.

Access Restriction

Another significant benefit of platform doors is access restriction. They prevent passengers from approaching vehicle doors during opening or after closing. This restriction not only protects passengers from potential accidents but also prevents interference with the transportation system’s operation, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted service.

Object Prevention on Tracks

Platform doors also play a crucial role in preventing objects from being thrown onto the tracks. By blocking items from being tossed onto the line, they help reduce pollution and prevent accidents, such as fires. Moreover, this prevention minimizes the need for frequent maintenance, contributing to the sustainability and efficiency of the Aeromovel system.
