Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a method and a system of protection of the passengers on a platform according to claims 1 and 12.
  • the present invention relates more generally to the protection and security of passengers waiting for a transportation on a platform, as well as the protection and security of passengers boarding and deboarding said'transportation, wherein said transportation is in particular a train, a mass transit, a trolley, a metro, etc, or more generally speaking a guided vehicle.
  • the expression "guided vehicle” refers to a vehicle configured for following a guide or a succession of guides, to which we will refer to hereafter as track, and which determine at least one route for the guided vehicle.
  • Said track being for example a rail, or a line on the ground, or a way determined by specific panels for said guided vehicle, etc.
  • said guided vehicle being for example a train, a metro, a bus, a tram, or an automatic guided vehicle.
  • the security of passengers at a station, and in particular at a platform of a station, is of crucial importance. For example, it deals with systems for protecting people from falling onto the tracks as well as systems for avoiding accidents with arriving or departing guided vehicles.
  • Such systems are for example automatic gates, like platform screen doors or platform edge doors designed for screening the platform from the guided vehicle, disposed at edges of a platform and requiring the precise positioning of the arriving guided vehicle, so that the position of each door of the guided vehicles coincides with the position of a gate on the platform.
  • Such security systems are complex, expensive, and require a precise knowledge of the position of the guided vehicle in the station next to the platform, since positions of the gates on the platform and the guided vehicle doors shall match.
  • a system configured for equipping a platform serving a track, said system being designed for protecting passengers on the platform, in particular for protecting passengers from falling onto said track, said system comprising:
  • the objective is also achieved according to the present invention with respect to the method by a method for protecting passengers on a platform and for securing said platform from a track served by said platform, in particular for protecting said passengers from falling onto said track, the method comprising the steps of:
  • the method according to the present: invention comprises rotating at the same time each elongated element of each barrier of said array of barriers. Therefore, when a guided vehicle stops at said platform, each elongated element might be moved from the first to the second position at the same time, synchronously. Similarly, each elongated element of the barriers might be moved from the second to the first position at the same time in a synchronous manner, preferentially after or simultaneously to the closure of the doors of the guided vehicle, but before departure of said guided vehicle.
  • only a part of the barriers of said array have their elongated elements moving together synchronously, while the elongated elements of the remaining barriers of said array stay at a fixed first position without moving, wherein said part comprises only consecutive barriers of said array.
  • moving the elongated elements of a part of consecutive barriers while keeping the elongated elements of the remaining barriers at the first position still allows to prevent passengers boarding the part of the guided vehicle which is next to the remaining barriers.
  • the rotation of the elongated element by the means for moving leads to a rising of the elongated element of the barrier, preferentially a synchronous rising of the elongated element of each barrier of said array of aligned barriers from the first position, e.g. the lowered position, to the second position, e.g. the raised position, as well as inversely, a lowering of the elongated element of the barrier, preferentially a synchronous lowering of the elongated element of each barrier of said array of aligned barriers from the second position to the first position.
  • rotating the elongated element from the first to the second position notably enables a rising of said elongated element e.g. in its substantially vertical position
  • rotating said elongated element from the second to the first position enables a lowering of the elongated element e.g. in its substantially horizontal position.
  • the center of rotation is close to or comprised in the extremity of the elongated element that is the closest one to the support beam, said center of rotation being consequently close to the support beam of said elongated element.
  • the movement from the first to the second position might be a combination of said rotation and a translation of the elongated element, wherein the rotation and/or translation is operated by said means for moving.
  • the method according to the invention comprises a reception by the controller configured for controlling and commanding the array of aligned barriers of a control signal designed either for signaling the complete stop of the guided vehicle at the platform and leading to the command by the controller of the activation of the rotation of said elongated element from the first to the second position, or for signaling the closure of the doors of the guided vehicle and leading to the command by the controller of the activation of the rotation of the elongated element from the second to the first position.
  • Said control signal related to the complete stop of the guided vehicle or the closure of its doors might be sent to the controller either by the guided vehicle itself, or by an automatic control system, or by a system of detectors.
  • the method according to the invention comprises a reception, e.g. by said controller, of an alarm signal designed either for signaling the arrival of a guided vehicle at a station, wherein said guided vehicle is going to stop at said platform of a station, and leading to the command by the controller of the activation of a signaling device at said platform, or for signaling the departure of the guided vehicle and leading to the command by the controller of the deactivation of said signaling device.
  • said signaling device is mounted on the top of the support beam and/or on said elongated element.
  • the signaling device is e.g. flashing or shining lights accompanied or not with sounds. Therefore, the controller according to the present invention is notably capable of activating said signaling device upon an arrival of the guided vehicle at the platform and of deactivating said signaling device upon departure of said guided vehicle from said platform.
  • the controller comprises an electronic circuit and/or a mechanical switch configured for providing a first signal for moving said elongated element from the first position to the second position only when the guided vehicle stops on the track at said platform, or preferentially upon reception of said control signal signaling the complete stop of the guided vehicle, and a second signal for moving said elongated element from the second position to the first position before departure of the guided vehicle, simultaneously to or after closure of guided vehicle doors, or preferentially upon reception of said control signal signaling the closure of the doors of the guided vehicle.
  • Said first and second signal are communicated to the means for moving of each barrier for commanding the movement of the elongated bar.
  • Said controller is in particular connected to each means of moving of each barrier of the array of barriers and the means for moving is for instance a motor configured for being commanded by the controller and for moving by rotation said elongated element.
  • the elongated element is a beam or a level bar, or a telescopic bar, which can be hollow, and notably made of a light material, like wood or plastic or some metallic compounds, and having a loud color surface.
  • the telescopic bar may extend from the first position to the second position and inversely retract from the second position to the first position by movement of at least one extendable/retractable element.
  • the length L separating two consecutive support beams of the elongated element might be correlated to a guided vehicle inter-door distance and stop accuracy. Typically the length L might be comprised between 2 and 5 meters.
  • the elongated element may comprise in particular freely hanging secondary elements attached to its body along its length.
  • the height of the elongated element compared to the platform ground when it is at its substantially horizontal first position is comprised between 0.9 and 1.3 meters.
  • the barriers are mounted on an edge of said platform aligned with the track, and the number of barriers is such that the whole length of the platform bordering or edging the track is mounted with the barriers of the present system.
  • the array of the aligned automatic barriers comprises notably at least three barriers aligned with each other and designed for being mounted on said platform.
  • the present invention is also related to a platform comprising the system for protecting passengers as previously described.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic illustration of a preferred embodiment of a system for protecting passengers on a platform 1 according to the invention, wherein an edge 11 of said platform 1 is aligned with a track 2 serving as guide for a guided vehicle 3.
  • the system according to the invention is configured for equipping the platform 1 serving said track 2.
  • the system comprises:
  • the controller 5 receives an alarm signal designed for signaling the arrival of said guided vehicle 3 at the station comprising said platform 1, and by reception of said alarm signal, the controller 5 activates a signaling device 6.
  • Said signaling device 6 is designed for informing passengers of the imminent arrival of said guided vehicle 3.
  • the signaling device 6 is in particular a radio based approaching alarm.
  • the controller 5 activates the means 45 in order to move the elongated element 41 from the first position substantially horizontal to the second position substantially vertical.
  • the controller 5 might send a first signal to the means 45.
  • the elongated element 41 remains then at the second position until closure of the guided vehicle doors.
  • the controller 5 activates the means 45 for rotating the elongated element 41 from the second position to the first position before departure of the guided vehicle 3.
  • the controller 5 might send a second signal to the means 45.
  • the controller 5 deactivates said signaling device 6, and maintains the elongated element 41 of the barriers of the array at said first position until the next complete stop of another guided vehicle at said platform.
  • the various above-mentioned signals, i.e. control and alarm signals, received by the controller might be sent by the guided vehicle 3 itself, by a control center of the platform 1, or by guided vehicle detection systems.
  • the array of barriers is in particular mounted substantially parallel to the track 2 on the edge 11 of the platform 1 aligned with said track 2, in order to border the passengers on the platform 1, protecting thus said passengers from falling onto the track 2.
