What Platform Screen Doors Do

Rail systems need barriers that protect riders and handle high ridership. Full-height platform screen doors form a physical barrier at the platform edge, so passengers can't fall onto the track side or into the path of oncoming trains. They help transit agencies meet safety standards as part of essential public infrastructure, whether the platform sits in an elevated station, an underground station, or a busy subway station.

The sliding doors work in sync with the train, so each platform door lines up with the train door and opens with every arrival. Behind the scenes, the doors talk to station control systems, reporting the status of every door along the platform.

Some systems use full-height platform screen doors that seal the platform from track to ceiling. Others use platform gates or half-height platform edge doors. The right platform barrier depends on the station, the trains, and how the platform is used.
