Traveler security system
A passenger safety system is a device that is intended to reduce the dangers for people and especially travelers from passing trains at railroad access points .
Pedestrian barriers or automatically operated doors, gates and sliding gates, which are intended to prevent use when a train is about to pass through, are particularly important at the level access or crossings.
Other safeguards on the platforms are color markings and demarcation grids, as well as flashing lights and announcement systems, which, when driving past at high speeds, prompt people to clear the platform area endangered by the suction.
For the first time, such facilities were used in Germany at 19 train stations and stops on the Hamburg – Berlin high-speed line that went into operation in 2004 . The danger area is kept clear with the safety railings arranged at a distance of 3.70 m from the track axis . Other measures include warning signs, guidance systems for the blind, hatching and automatic acoustic passenger warnings. On February 25, 2002, the Federal Railway Authority granted approval to carry out operational trials.
