駅ホームからの転落を抑制する腕木式転落防止装置の検討

抄録

Railroad companies have prepared safety system to prevent a fall accident from station platform such as emergency stop buttons, fall detection mats, waiting spaces under platforms and platform doors. In particular, platform doors can almost eliminate fall accidents, except for cases where people climb over them and enter the tracks. However, various types of platform doors have been developed because platform doors installation has some problem such as the differences in door positions between vehicles and the cost of installation. Hence, we developed a gate-bar typed safety device to prevent a fall accident from a station platform as an alternative safety system to platform doors.
