Problem analysis
The above accidents all highlight the potential safety hazards of the platform screen door clearance. When passengers or items are accidentally caught between the screen door and the train, it can not only lead to injury or even death, but also have a serious impact on the normal operation of the subway or train.
Solution: Screen Door Solid State Radar Products
In order to avoid the occurrence of similar accidents, there are currently platform screen door gap safety monitoring equipment in the security market. Among them, screen door solid-state radar products have become the best choice because of their unique advantages.
Real-time monitoring of the size of the gap: The solid-state radar can monitor the size of the gap between the screen door and the train in real time, and once it detects that a passenger or item is trapped, it will immediately issue an alarm and take appropriate safety measures.
Improve passenger safety: Through real-time monitoring and early warning, solid-state radar can effectively prevent the risk of passengers falling off the track due to excessive clearance, and improve passenger travel safety.
Improve operational efficiency: The accurate measurement of solid-state radar makes the docking between the train and the screen door more accurate, reduces the delay of the train due to clearance problems, and improves the operation efficiency.
Reduced maintenance costs: Through real-time monitoring and early warning, solid-state radar can detect and resolve potential problems in a timely manner, reducing repair costs and time due to failures.
The platform screen door clamping accident is a wake-up call for us, and we must take practical and effective measures to ensure the safety of passengers. The introduction of solid-state radar products for screen doors is a viable and efficient solution. Together, we create a safer and more convenient environment for our passengers.
