Guide to Automated Platform Screen Door Systems

Provide added safety to your mass transit with automated platform screen door systems

By Lisa Wilsbacher


Automated platform screen door systems (APSDs) have been popular worldwide and are beginning to take hold in the United States as well. These systems provide an impressive amount of safety to mass transit platforms by creating a full wall barrier between the platform and the track area. This also gives your passengers the added benefit of less noise and more feasible climate control for the platform area.

Deciding to install an automated platform screen door system is no small task. However, safety benefits, as well as other perks such as increased platform cleanliness and comfort and improving passenger flow on during embarking/disembarking, do make it an appealing option. While you deliberate your options, consider the following:

1. Analyze your current safety conditions to determine the benefits of an automated platform screen door system to your situation.

2. Assess the local providers of platform screen door systems.

3. Consider the experience of global platform screen door systems providers.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done


Make sure your safety situation warrants an automated platform screen door system

While these systems are impressive and beneficial, the benefits may not outweigh the costs of installation and maintenance for smaller areas. Make a thorough analysis of your current safety situation to determine if an automated platform screen door system is best for you.

I recommend: Kobe Steel, a company that produces automated platform screen door systems for Japan's high-speed rail terminals, lists the advantages of installing APSDs. Learn more about the safety features of automated platform screen doors and gates, and see photos of systems installed around the world, at metrobits.org.

Look for local manufacturers of automated platform screen door systems

It is usually most beneficial to align yourself with local businesses. In addition to supporting local economies, the costs of materials are usually less and they are more accessible for consultations, maintenance and troubleshooting needs.

I recommend: Stanley Access Technologies is a well known name in automatic door systems and offers an experienced platform screen door system service. Curtis Door Systems has global experience in providing platform screen door solutions.

Consider the benefits and drawbacks of using global automated platform screen door system providers

There are several overseas companies that are globally known for their work with automated platform screen door systems. They may be able to achieve your desired result quicker and more efficiently than less practiced companies. However, the price for working with an overseas company can often outweigh the benefit of their experience. Compare all your available options and determine which offers the best quality for your money.

I recommend: The Kaba Group and Westinghouse Platform Screen Doors both have global name recognition as companies with a wealth of experience in automated platform screen door systems.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • •  When considering overseas automated platform screen door system companies, be sure to assess their experience in working with a variety of regulations. As safety requirements vary widely from country to country, you want to make sure you are receiving products and services that meet and exceed current safety regulations in your area.
