Movable steps bridges over a wide gap formed between the platform and train, in order to prevent passengers from falling.
Completely eliminating falls using high-performance controller
The equipment is automatically controlled when actuated, beyond the construction limit (a world first). This demands high reliability. The steps are controlled using a fail-safe microcomputer controller with advanced reliability, incorporating electronic interlocking device and ATC device technologies. |

Unified with a partial-height platform screen door system for fail-safe guarding
Train platforms are used by people of kinds, including small children, senior citizens and disabled persons. By integrating movable steps with a partial-height platform screen door system, falls are prevented and the safe space is widened. The movable steps are extended and retrieved only while the platform screen door is closed. |

The equipment weight is about 550kg per train door area (when the width is 2.4m). The weight of each constituent unit is 80kg (excluding covers), facilitating carry-in and installation. |
|
Replacement is possible by each unit. |
|
All maintenance work can be provided from the platform side for easier maintenance. |
|
The equipment is electrically driven, facilitating maintenance, installation and operation. |
|
|
|
In case of power failure or malfunction, the steps can be operated manually using a rotary handle. |
|
The difference in levels is negligible, so passengers will not trip or slip. |
|
|
The thin design allows all equipment to be housed on the platform side. |
|
Since no equipment is placed underneath the platform, evacuation and other spaces are not affected. Installation has almost no effect on the structural strength of the platform. |
