Ongakukan's Platform doors*
*Lightweight bar-type platform doors (patented)
Creating a safer station environment while lowering structural weight and setup costs.
With the novel idea of using pipe panelling, we were able to make the doors light-weight.
It is made with reinforced materials, and designed so that even if a person with disabilities touches it, it is not an issue.
After a trial period, it has been introduced by JR Kyushu and it is now going to be installed by other railway companies.
