EGO — Press Release on Platform Screen Door Systems
Official announcement describing the initiative to install platform-screen doors to separate platforms from tracks.
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) 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.
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.
Cities adopting PSDs report fewer platform incidents, smoother operations in rush hours, and better environmental control on station platforms.
Significant reduction in accidents and unauthorized track access.
Shorter dwell times, improved schedule adherence, and energy savings.
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.
PSD systems typically include automatic sliding glass doors, safety sensors, SCADA integration, and emergency evacuation modules.
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.
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.
By reducing energy consumption, improving air quality within stations, and providing safer public transport, PSD systems contribute positively to both ecological goals and urban livability.
