Platform Screen Doors for High Safety and Passenger Comfort

Platform Screen Doors for High Safety and Passenger Comfort

Platform Screen Doors provide a physical barrier between platforms and tracks, protecting passengers from accidental falls, unauthorised entry and potential collisions with moving trains. When trains are not in position on the platform, these doors remain closed until stopped and lined up with it - thus providing safe passenger boarding/alighting procedures and fare evasion/vandalism prevention through restricted entry points aligned with ticketing areas.

The global Platform Screen Door System market is expanding at an impressive rate due to an increasing demand for rail transit safety measures and passenger comfort, and airport sector expansion. These factors should only continue driving growth in this market over time.

Rope platform screen doors (RPSDs) are a type of rail transit gate that opens vertically like garage doors. Used globally for subway, light rail, and airport tram stations alike. Their designs offer superior levels of safety, durability, operability, platform installation without major foundation work requirements - ideal solutions for tight spaces with limited budgets.

These gates provide protection from suicide by acting as physical barriers that deter individuals from jumping onto train tracks, thus decreasing fatalities and suicide rates on metro and railway lines. Since their introduction, suicide rates have significantly reduced.

These doors can also serve to reduce noise from tunnel ventilation, regulate temperature and protect the station environment from external influences. They may even feature real-time information displays to show train arrival times and service updates - increasing passenger awareness while improving transit experience overall.

Market growth can also be attributed to increasing rail infrastructure development and redevelopment efforts across the globe, with many countries investing in new railway and metro lines to meet rising demand and drive platform screen door sales as they increase speed and efficiency of transit operations. Furthermore, these gates help lower energy consumption by keeping air conditioning from seeping into tunnels thereby cutting energy consumption costs significantly.
