OdinPSD is an innovative engineering company that manufactures modern, safe Platform Screen Door systems. We develop solutions that enhance safety and comfort in public transport.
Platform Screen Doors (PSD) create a secure barrier between passengers and the tracks, dramatically reducing accidents and unauthorized access. Beyond safety, PSDs optimize station climate control and streamline passenger flow—improving timetable adherence and reducing operational disruptions during peak hours.
Integrated with train signaling and station SCADA, PSDs open only when trains stop correctly, synchronizing with train doors. This controlled operation supports suicide prevention, shortens dwell times, decreases platform cleaning needs, and contributes to significant HVAC energy savings in enclosed stations.
Our PSD approach blends multi-layered safety (sensors, interlocks, emergency releases) with operational efficiency (orderly boarding, reduced dwell time, stable platform climate).
Deployments consistently show reduced incidents, improved headway stability, and lower station energy consumption—while enhancing passenger experience and cleanliness.
Physical separation virtually eliminates platform-fall and trespass incidents.
Controlled air exchange reduces HVAC loads in underground stations.
PSDs prevent access to tracks and synchronize with trains via interlocks and position detection. Obstacle detection and edge sensors stop door motion to protect passengers, while emergency releases enable controlled evacuation.
The result is a safer, calmer platform with clear visual cues and reduced crowd pressure near the platform edge.
By limiting air exchange, PSDs reduce cooling and heating losses. Orderly boarding reduces dwell time variance and improves schedule adherence—supporting higher throughput without compromising safety.
PSDs interface with train control to enable safe, predictable stops and fast door cycles. Platform staff focus shifts from crowd control to exception handling, improving overall station operations.
Standard operating procedures and regular calibration maintain safety integrity and availability.
Next-gen PSDs integrate with IoT sensors, analytics, and predictive maintenance. Real-time diagnostics and event logs support rapid troubleshooting and higher uptime.
PSDs are engineered to relevant international standards for RAMS and fire safety. Proper documentation and periodic audits help ensure sustained compliance throughout lifecycle.
