Metro lines featuring platform screen doors for protection against
unauthorized passenger access require accurate management and
correlation between the platform doors and the train side counterparts.
The information exchange between onboard train controllers and the PSD
controllers in each station are time-critical and safety-relevant to
enable reliable door control and safe operation of the line.
A functional combination between passenger counters, traffic
management system and door controllers can even be used to optimize and
steer passenger flow.
Advantages:
- Correlation between train and platform doors
- Accurate door operation
- Improved door security
- Passenger flow management
- Advanced door information for passengers
