OdinPSD – Platform Screen Doors

Understanding Platform Screen Doors

Platform Screen Doors (PSD) are automated safety barriers installed between platforms and tracks in metro and rail systems. They prevent unauthorized access to the track area, reduce accidents, improve boarding order, and enhance passenger comfort by stabilizing station climate conditions.

Modern PSD solutions synchronize with train doors, opening only when the train is safely stopped. In addition to safety, they support energy efficiency by separating platform air from tunnel air, reducing HVAC loads and platform noise levels.

What Do PSD Systems Do?

PSD systems place synchronized automatic doors between passengers and the track area to maximize safety and streamline passenger flow during peak hours while improving climate control on platforms.

  • Passenger Safety
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Organized Boarding
  • System Integration

Key Benefits

Cities adopting PSDs report fewer platform incidents, smoother operations in rush hours, and better environmental control on station platforms.

Safety Up

Significant reduction in accidents and unauthorized track access.

Efficiency Gains

Shorter dwell times, improved schedule adherence, and energy savings.

Platform Screen Doors (PSD): Safety and Efficiency in Metro Systems

1. Introduction

Platform Screen Door (PSD) systems are an essential technological solution developed to enhance passenger safety, provide energy efficiency, and optimize operational performance in modern metro infrastructure. By creating a physical barrier between passengers and tracks, these systems reduce accidents and service disruptions.

Especially in high-density urban transit networks, PSD projects play a pivotal role in creating safe, smart, and sustainable mobility environments.

2. Technical Features and Benefits

PSD systems typically include automatic sliding glass doors, safety sensors, SCADA integration, and emergency evacuation modules.

Key Benefits Include:

  • Preventing falls and suicide attempts
  • Enhancing climate control and reducing HVAC energy consumption
  • Reducing platform noise and providing visual train arrival indicators
  • Shortening dwell times and improving schedule adherence

3. Implementation Process

PSD systems can be implemented in new metro lines or retrofitted into existing stations. The process includes civil engineering work, electrical wiring, signal-software integration, and rigorous safety testing.

Retrofitting older stations often presents engineering challenges that require customized technical solutions.

4. Future Outlook

PSD projects align with smart city objectives by integrating with IoT, AI, and big data platforms. Capabilities like real-time passenger monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated incident response enable a more resilient and intelligent metro infrastructure.
