What type of doors are used on train and metro platforms?

PSD dock-closing doors, telescopic doors and automatic sliding doors designed for high traffic are used.

How do automatic doors improve security in stations?

They prevent access to hazardous areas, reduce the risk of falling onto the tracks, and only activate when the transport is stationary.

Automatic doors for public transport

Our intelligent access solutions are specifically designed for the transport sector, with the objective of ensuring a more comfortable and seamless travel experience for millions of daily users through automatic doors for stations and terminals. Our pedestrian access solutions for transport are engineered to optimise passenger flow, improving efficiency in stations, terminals, platforms and boarding areas, contributing to a more orderly and agile transport environment.

With a focus on innovation and quality, our access systems for transport enhance user comfort by enabling efficient management of traffic in high‑occupancy stations. The systems are designed to adapt to variable passenger flows, reducing waiting times and preventing crowding. This not only facilitates faster and more organised access, but also contributes to a better travel experience for users.

In addition, we incorporate industrial solutions, such as self‑repairing rapid doors for parking and doors to compartmentalise spaces, improving safety, organisation and operational efficiency in high‑use environments.

Benefits of Manusa systems for public transport

Improved safety

Prevention of unauthorised access: Automatic platform screen doors help prevent passengers from accessing the tracks or hazardous areas before the transport arrives, reinforcing safety on platforms and boarding areas.

Reduction of accidents: By opening only when the transport is present, automatic doors reduce the risk of falls or accidents on the tracks, improving user protection on the platform.

Operational efficiency

Orderly passenger flow: Automatic doors allow a more organised and controlled flow of passengers, improving efficiency during boarding and alighting and facilitating crowd management.

Synchronization with transport: PSD platform screen doors synchronise with the arrival and departure of the transport, ensuring they open and close at the right time to maximise operational efficiency, optimising coordination between train and platform.

Accessibility and safety

Ease of access: Improves access for people with reduced mobility, elderly people, and those with pushchairs, ensuring a more inclusive transport system.

Anti-panic mechanism: The option to install anti-panic doors with a swing system allows increasing the clear opening for evacuation in case of emergency at station exits.

Comfort for users

Effortless access: Passengers can enter and exit stations and/or platforms without having to operate doors manually, which is especially useful when carrying luggage or for those with reduced mobility.

Improved safety: PSD platform screen doors indicate when it is safe to approach the platform edge, and thanks to their innovative safety system they are only activated when the train has stopped, reducing operational and user risk.

Hygiene and health

Reduction of physical contact: Minimises the need for physical contact with doors, reducing the spread of germs and improving hygiene in high-traffic areas.

Improved people’s perception: The use of motion sensors that allow contactless operation, improving the perception of a clean and safe environment for passengers.
