Introduction
Innovative barriers to improve the safety on the platforms.
The Rope Screen Door (RSD) is an innovative platform safety device technology RSD can be installed in train and subway station platforms.
Its main goal is to enhance passenger safety by allowing access to the tracks only for authorized individuals, thereby optimizing operations for boarding, alighting, and train movement within the platform area. As an integral component of railway systems, the RSD system prioritizes safety. robustness, ease of operation and maintenance. while seamlessly integrating with environmental conditions and station platform structures.
Salient Features

- improves passenger experience in public transport
- Maintains climate change resilience features
- No train schedule interference
Benefit
Enhanced Passenger Safety: RSD provides a physical barrier between the platform and the tracks, reducing the risk of accidental falls, collisions, or injuries. This ensures a safer environment for passengers waiting for trains.
Prevention of Accidents: By creating a barrier, RSD helps prevent accidents such as passengers accidentally stumbling or falling onto the tracks. This significantly reduces the likelihood of serious incidents and improves overall safety.
Improved Crowd Management: RSD helps in managing crowd flow on platforms by creating designated waiting areas. This can prevent overcrowding near the edge of the platform, reducing the risk of accidents during peak travel times.
Protection Against Debris and Inclement Weather: The screen door effectively blocks debris, litter, and inclement weather conditions such as strong winds or heavy rain from entering the platform area. This ensures a cleaner and more comfortable waiting environment for passengers.
Increased Security: RSD can be integrated with security systems such as surveillance cameras and sensors, enhancing security measures on platforms. This can deter vandalism, unauthorized access to tracks, and other security threats.
Accessibility Enhancement: The installation of RSD can include features such as ramps or designated access points for passengers with disabilities, improving accessibility across the platform area.
Reduced Noise and Air Pollution: RSD can help in reducing noise levels from passing trains and mitigate air pollution from train exhaust, improving the overall environment for passengers and nearby residents.
Cost-Effective Solution: Despite initial installation costs, RSD can offer long-term cost savings by reducing the frequency of accidents and associated liabilities, as well as minimizing maintenance costs related to platform safety.
