Illuminated Platform Edge
Increased safety, provision of information and punctuality with the Illuminated Platform Edge
SIUT’s Illuminated Platform Edge consists of single individual modules which are arranged in a row and interact with each other. These are made of a special concrete slab, an integrated light guide and an intelligent electronic unit in which
train-specific data is received, processed and translated into light signals.
Each concrete slab can be controlled individually to display static and dynamic light patterns in a wide range of colors.
Embedded in the floor, the guidance system visualizes a large variety of train information in advance in an intuitive
and internationally understandable way.
Due to wide range of visualization as well as data connection, the Illuminated Platform Edge offers great potential
for passengers and the operators in terms of safety enhancement, guidance and provision of information.
Safety
Increasing safety on the platform
While the system lights up red the passengers' sense of safety is increased. The danger area is entered less frequently. An optimized distribution of passengers ensures fewer dangerous situations.
Information
Passenger information on the platform
Due to an early and optimized distribution of passengers on the platform, boarding and alighting times are shortened as well as the trains's stopping cycles, which increases passenger comfort and punctuality.
Safety
Increased attention on platforms by warning signals directly in the floor
Passenger information
Improved orientation and distribution of waiting passengers due to information being displayed directly in the floor
Punctuality
Enhanced punctuality and satisfied customers by reducing stopping times of trains
