### Automatic platform Gates

###### PLATFORM DOORS & GATES

##### Automatic platform Gates

**Customer benefits**

##### Proven safety and operational flexibility

Automatic Platform Gates, available in heights from 1.15 m to 1.9 m, are designed to
improve passenger safety and optimize station operations in metro environments.

Theyintegrate essential features such as train interface management, gap detection, gap fillers, passenger information displays, advanced monitoring, and platform services integration.

APGs are part of a globally deployed solution, supported by a full-service offering that
includes production, site installation, testing, commissioning, and after-sales maintenance.

Their modular design and adaptability make them suitable for a wide range of station
configurations, ensuring reliable performance and enhanced passenger experience.

##### Clearance Monitoring Solution for Passenger Safety in Automated Metros

Gap Protector is a system designed for securing train departure with platform screen doors in automated metro environments. While platform screen doors enhance safety, residual risk can still be met in certain circumstances, particularly the possibility of a passenger becoming trapped between the train and the platform façade during departure. This risk is mostly present in stations with curved platforms, where gaps may form at the interface between the train and the platform screen doors. 
The Gap Protector addresses these challenges with an automatic detection system that:

- Monitors the space closest to the train body
- Detects safely (SIL3) If a person is present in hazardous gap
- Gives feedback that prevents train departure and allow to take appropriate actions to restore safe conditions (e.g. reopen the platform doors to release the individual

The system is ready for:

- Seamless integration into existing platform screen door architectures
- Cybersecurity requirements
- Immediate operational readiness as no training period required

### Door Mechanism ES2

##### Door Mechanism ES2

**Customer benefits**

##### Proven Reliability and Modular Design

The ES2 door mechanism is a simple, robust, and service-proven used for trains as well as platform screen doors. Its architecture uses a limited number of components, ensuring high reliability, minimizing technical risks, and enabling short project development times. 

Equipped with an electric motor and a driving screw with ball bearings, the ES2 delivers consistent efficiency across all temperature ranges. Locking is achieved through the rotation of the driving nut, eliminating the need for additional actuators, gearboxes, or electromagnets. 

With over 30 years of field experience and more than 30,000 units installed worldwide, the ES2 mechanism combines durability, ease of integration, and long-term performance.

##### Modular Installation for Platform Screen Doors

Our patented fixation technology enables rapid and modular installation of platform screen doors in existing metro stations, minimizing disruption to operations. Two modular units can be installed in less than three hours, with no impact on train services in brownfield environments. 

The system is designed to adapt to any architectural configuration, ensuring seamless integration even in complex station layouts. For new builds, this approach reduces installation time by up to 60%, while maintaining safety and reliability standards. 

The modular concept simplifies logistics, accelerates project timelines, and supports efficient deployment in high-density urban networks.
