Due to the growing demand of air travelers using Haneda Airport , especially international travelers, JR East officially announced in the “JR East Group Management Vision V” issued in 2013 that they aimed to improve the accessibility to the airport. In 2014, JR East released its fundamental construction plan for

112-474: A feasibility study to proceed. The results will be released sometime in 2025. Platform edge doors are currently in use at Lines 3 and 6 of the Santiago Metro , being a novelty in the system. All Chinese metro systems have platform screen doors installed on most of their lines. All stations built after the mid-2000s have some form of platform barrier. Guangzhou Metro Line 2 , which opened in 2002,

168-578: A new kind of vertical platform screen doors, called platform curtains , are being tested on the platform 2bis of Vanves–Malakoff station (in Paris region) on the Transilien Line N commuter rail line. The experiment should end in February 2021. Transilien said that they preferred platform curtains to classical screen doors for this line because the positioning of the doors is not the same across

224-791: A new underwater tunnel. In the JR East Group Management Vision "Move Up” issued in 2018, JR East proposed constructing three conventional lines departing from the airport connecting to different parts of Tokyo: the East Yamanote route, the West Yamanote route and the Coastal Area route. In 2019, JR East officially launched the environmental assessment for the new lines. In 2021, JR East announced that they have received Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism approval for construction of

280-675: A point near Tamachi Station , using an unused freight line between Tamachi and Tokyo Freight Terminal to connect to the Tokaido Main Line ( Ueno-Tokyo Line ). By running through trains on the Ueno–Tokyo Line, through service can be offered to Tokyo Station , Ueno Station , and northbound lines including the Takasaki Line , Utsunomiya Line , and Joban Line , allowing service to the northern suburbs of Tokyo. Travel times between Tokyo and Haneda are estimated to decrease from

336-668: A trial run with Faiveley automatic platform gates installed on a single platform at Vuosaari metro station during phase one of the project. The doors, which are part of the Siemens metro automation project, were built in 2012. Phase 2 of the project has been delayed due to metro automation technical and safety related testings. The doors were removed in 2015. All lines of the VAL automated subway system are equipped with platform screen doors at every station, starting with Lille subways in 1983. Those also include Toulouse and Rennes as well as

392-435: A tunnel's side wall, with "a gate having its ends guided in the guides, the ends and intermediate portions of the gate having rollers engaging the side wall". Pneumatic cylinders with pistons would be used to raise the gates above the platform when a train was in the station. Unlike Shute's invention, the entire platform gate was movable, and was to retract upward. The first stations in the world with platform screen doors were

448-649: Is also present in some stations of Line 2 - Green and Line 3 - Red . They are planned to be installed in 41 stations of lines 1, 2 and 3 by the end of 2021, as well as all stations of line 5 by the end of 2020. PSDs are also found on the tube stations of the RIT BRT and in the Santos Light Rail since 2016. Half-height platform screen doors are in use on all stations of the Sofia Metro Line 3. In 2020, rope-type screen door (RSD) system

504-447: Is currently rare since they are a much costlier and more complicated alternative to the aforementioned rope-type screen doors. The only difference from the latter is that they move sideways when letting passengers through. At Osaka Station, the doors are designed as a single block (equivalent to the length of a train car). It consists of five units: one wall-like "parent door" suspended from the top and two sets of glass "child doors". When

560-770: Is entrapment between closed platform doors and the train carriage which, if undetected, can lead to fatality when the train begins to move (see § Incidents ). Cases of this happening are rare, and the risk can be minimised with careful design, in particular by interlocking the door system with the signalling system, and by minimising the gap between the closed platform doors and the train body. In some cases active monitoring systems are used to monitor this gap. Half-height platform edge doors, also known as automatic platform gates, are cheaper to install than full-height platform screen doors, which require more metallic framework for support. Some railway operators may therefore prefer such an option to improve safety at railway platforms and, at

616-599: Is one of the stations on the Yamanote Line loop where trains are put into and taken out of service. It therefore has four tracks (two in each direction) for the Yamanote Line so as not to interfere with continuing trains (trains go several rounds before being taken out); usually platforms 1 and 3 are used by regular services, while platforms 2 and 4 are used by trains entering and exiting service. Chest-high platform edge doors were introduced on platforms 1 and 3 from 22 December 2012. There are two sets of ticket barriers:

Most Saikyō Line trains operate through to Shin-Kiba on the Rinkai Line. The station has four island platforms serving eight tracks. Platforms 1 to 4 are for the Yamanote Line, and 5 to 8 are shared by the Saikyō Line, the Shōnan-Shinjuku Line, and the Rinkai Line. Ōsaki

728-521: Is the first metro system in mainland China to have installed platform screen doors since its completion. The older Guangzhou Metro Line 1 also completed the installation of platform screen doors between 2006 and 2009. Only the Dalian Metro lines 3, 12, and 13, Wuhan Metro line 1 and Changchun Metro lines 3, 4, and 8 have stations without the platform screen doors on their early lines (As of 21 September 2019 ). However many are starting

784-688: The CDGVAL and Orlyval airport shuttles. Paris Métro 's line 14 from Saint-Lazare to Bibliothèque François Mitterrand was inaugurated in 1998 with platform screen doors manufactured by Faiveley Transport . The new station Olympiades opened with platform screen doors in June 2007. Lines 1 and 4 have been retrofitted with platform edge doors, for full driverless automation effective in 2012 and 2023, respectively. Some stations on Line 13 have had platform edge doors since 2010 to manage their overcrowding, after tests conducted in 2006. Since 30 June 2020,

840-931: The CRH network use platform screen doors set back from the platform edge. In addition, Fengxian District in Shanghai installed platform gates at a road crossing. Several stations on Bogota's TransMilenio bus rapid transit system use platform screen doors. The Ayacucho Tram in Medellin also has half-height platform doors at every station. The Copenhagen Metro uses Westinghouse and Faiveley platform screen doors on all platforms. Full-height doors are used on underground stations while surface level stations have half-height doors (except from Lufthavnen and Orientkaj ). Underground stations have had platform doors since opening, while above ground stations on lines 1 and 2 did not initially, and were installed later. The Helsinki Metro had

896-514: The East Rail line are equipped with either platform screen doors or automatic platform gates. On the East Rail line, PSDs are installed only at Admiralty , Exhibition Centre and Hung Hom stations. Automatic platform gates have also been installed at Racecourse , Lok Ma Chau , Sha Tin , Sheung Shui , Tai Po Market and Tai Wai . Installation is still in progress or are soon to begin at

952-616: The Minsk Metro , which first opened in late 2020, and will be installed at stations on the later sections of the line. The Platform Screen Doors are present in the São Paulo Metro since 2010, when the Sacomã Station was opened. As of 2019, five of the six lines of the São Paulo Metro have the equipment: Lines 4 - Yellow , 5 - Lilac and 15 - Silver have the equipment installed in all of its stations. The feature

1008-672: The Union and Pearson stations along the Union Pearson Express route to Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario . Platform screen doors will be installed at all stations on the forthcoming Ontario Line . In addition, as a part of major renovations and expansions to the Bloor-Yonge interchange, platform screen doors will be installed on both Line 1 platforms. The doors will also be installed on

1064-541: The platform from train tracks, as well as on some bus rapid transit , tram and light rail systems. Primarily used for passenger safety, they are a relatively new addition to many metro systems around the world, some having been retrofitted to established systems. They are widely used in newer Asian and European metro systems, and Latin American bus rapid transit systems. The idea for platform edge doors dates from as early as 1908, when Charles S. Shute of Boston

1120-593: The rolling stock , and that they plan to install them in other Transilien stations if the experiment is successful. Paris is now getting a new urban revolution : The Grand Paris Express . As of it, every new stations are getting brand new full platform screen doors, and it begins with the Line 14 extension inaugurated in 2024, from Saint-Denis pleyel to Orly Airport. People movers at Frankfurt International Airport , Munich International Airport and Düsseldorf Airport are equipped with platform screen doors, as well as

1176-525: The "north" and "south" gates. The north gate provides access to the east and west exits, while the south gate provides access to the new east and new west exits. Unlike most other stations with service from multiple different transport companies, at Ōsaki the Rinkai line and JR services are behind the same fare gates, and it is possible to change between JR and Rinkai lines without exiting and re-entering. Passengers using Suica or another IC card will be charged

1232-522: The 67-kilometre-long driverless complementary suburban rapid transit network opening in five phases between 2023 and 2027 will feature screen doors at each of its 26 stations. With the advent of the REM on the horizon, calls to retrofit platform edge doors in the Montreal Metro to combat delays arising from overcrowding are becoming more common. If full-height doors were to be installed, it may reduce

1288-573: The East Rail Line which used platform screen doors manufactured by Fangda Group. The opening of the Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort stations in 2005 also meant the first platform-edge doors entering operation for the MTR network. These doors are currently the lowest in the entire network of being at around 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) high, compared to 1.55 m (5 ft 1 in) on

1344-404: The East Yamanote route and intended to start construction in 2022, for completion by 2029. In early April 2023, JR East announced that construction would begin, and that a construction groundbreaking ceremony would take place at a later date in June of that year. The opening date is expected to take place sometime in fiscal 2031, two years later than the initial expected opening date. Construction of

1400-597: The Line 2 platforms once CBTC signalling upgrades are made to the line. The addition of such doors at Bloor-Yonge has prompted rumours of a broader system wide rollout, including in the forthcoming Scarborough Subway Extension and Yonge North Subway Extension , though no confirmation or funding has been announced by the Toronto Transit Commission or the Government of Ontario . Greater Montreal's forthcoming Réseau express métropolitain (REM),

1456-507: The accessibility improvement. The plan proposed that an existing disused freight line located southeast of Tamachi Station be connected via a single-track tunnel to the Tokaido Line . The newly-constructed section would be about 5 km (3.1 mi) long, running from the existing Tokyo Freight Terminal to a new Haneda Airport New Station ( 羽田空港新駅 , Haneda-kūkō shin-eki ) to be located between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 via

1512-517: The combined fare when they exit. Passengers holding a Japan Rail Pass and transferring onto the Rinkai line, which does not accept the pass, will need to pay the Rinkai line fare when they exit at their Rinkai line destination. A similar arrangement applies to passengers travelling through from the Saikyō line to Oimachi or another Rinkai line destination. The station has a " Midori no Madoguchi " staffed ticket office. Toilet facilities are located inside

1568-583: The cost of installation and to deal with the problem of different train types and distance between the doors. The first-ever full-height variable-type platform screen doors have only been recently installed at the underground platforms of Osaka Station , which opened in March 2023, but a few half-height variants can be found on a set installed at the Shinkansen platforms of Shinagawa Station in Tokyo . Its use

1624-464: The current 28 minutes to 18 minutes. The other two routes remain possible future extensions, although as of 2024 there is no timeline for either. Osaki Station Ōsaki Station ( 大崎駅 , Ōsaki-eki ) is a railway station in Shinagawa, Tokyo , Japan, jointly owned and operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit (TWR). Ōsaki Station

1680-552: The deep-level tunnels between stations, while the station vaults are dug out manually and contain both the tracks and the platform. However, in the case of the Saint Petersburg Metro, the TBMs bored a pair of continuous tunnels that passed through ten stations, and the stations themselves were built in vaults that only contained the platform, with small openings on the sides of the vault, in order for passengers to access

1736-535: The difficulty in opening station entrance doors at ground level due to the pressure imbalance caused by passing trains. Given that there are two different train door layouts on the Montreal Metro, with the older MR-73 trains having 4 doors on each side of the car, and MPM-10 having 3, it is unlikely platform doors will be showing up in the Montreal Metro until the retirement of the MR-73 fleet. In June 2023,

1792-645: The eighteenth-busiest station operated by JR East. In fiscal 2013, the TWR station was used by an average of 58,041 people daily (boarding passengers only), making it the busiest station operated by TWR. The average boarding passenger figures for previous years are as shown below. 35°37′11″N 139°43′43″E  /  35.6197°N 139.72855°E  / 35.6197; 139.72855 Platform screen doors Platform screen doors ( PSDs ), also known as platform edge doors ( PEDs ), are used at some train , rapid transit and people mover stations to separate

1848-460: The first station to receive platform screen doors from this programme in August 2001. The Mass Transit Railway became the first metro system in the world to retrofit PSDs on a transit system already in operation. The program was completed in March 2006. All subsequent new stations or platforms installed with PSDs also used those manufactured by Gilgen Door Systems, until the cross-harbour extension of

1904-685: The first-fully automated rapid transit rail system in Australia. Full-height screen doors are provided on most underground platforms, with full-height edge doors on at-grade, elevated and some underground platforms. The existing five stations on the Epping to Chatswood railway line were upgraded to rapid transit standard, all being fitted with full-height platform edge doors. In Melbourne, the Metro Tunnel , from South Kensington to South Yarra , due to open in 2025, will have platform screen doors on

1960-455: The kind of rolling stock that may be used on a line, as the train doors must fit the spacing of the platform doors; which can result in additional costs due to depot upgrades and otherwise unnecessary purchases of rolling stock. Despite delivering an overwhelming improvement to passenger safety at the platform-train interface, platform screen doors do introduce new hazards which must be carefully managed in design and delivery. The principal hazard

2016-672: The new Boggo Road , Woolloongabba and Albert Street underground stations, and the new underground platforms of Roma Street . Currently, only the Serfaus U-Bahn uses platform screen doors. Line U2 of the Vienna U-Bahn is being reconstructed from Schottentor station to Karlsplatz station , with the addition of platform screen doors to the reconstructed stations by 2023–2024. The Dhaka Metro Rail uses half-height platform screen doors at all of its elevated stations. Platform screen doors are being installed on Line 3 of

2072-441: The new line is estimated to cost about ¥ 280 billion (2022) ( US$ 2.13 billion). Construction of the line officially began on 2 June 2023 with a groundbreaking ceremony. Three routes from Tokyo Freight Terminal onwards to the various points in central Tokyo were under consideration. The selected East Yamanote route ( 東山手ルート ) will run from the new airport station located between Terminals 1 and 2 of Haneda Airport to

2128-458: The older stations to reduce suicides on the MTR and reduce air-conditioning costs. Platforms 2 and 3 of Choi Hung were chosen for the trial due to them being redundant platforms and receiving low numbers of passengers. Platform screen doors of two and a half cars' length were installed on each of the two platforms during the trial in 1996. As the Kwun Tong line trains consisted of eight cars, it

2184-475: The ones installed on the Disneyland Resort line. There are also rope-type platform screen doors, where multiple train types with different length and train door structures use the same platforms. The barriers move upwards, rather than sideways, when letting passengers through. Some Japanese, Korean, Chinese and eastern European countries have railway stations that use rope-type screen doors to lower

2240-580: The operator of the Vancouver SkyTrain , TransLink announced a feasibility study into installing platform screen doors on the Expo and Millennium lines. Such installation was previously deemed infeasible, due to SkyTrain's diverse fleet and different door positions. However, with the acquisition of the Alstom Mark V trains , which will replace the ageing Mark I , the door positions allow for

2296-567: The optimal position to align precisely with the position of each car door. Since the technology is still new, such doors are still going through testing phases in several countries around the world. Line D of the Buenos Aires Subte is planned to have platform screen doors installed in the future as soon as the CBTC system is installed. Sydney Metro , which opened in May 2019, was

2352-420: The platform edge onto the railway tracks . But they sometimes reach to the height of the train. Like full-height platform screen doors, these platform gates slide open or close simultaneously with the train doors. These two types of platform screen doors are presently the main types in the world. These doors help to: Their primary disadvantage is their cost. When used to retrofit older systems, they can limit

2408-555: The process of retrofitting these lines with platform screen gates. In addition, many bus rapid transit systems such as the Guangzhou Bus Rapid Transit also have stops that are equipped with platform screen doors. Platform screen doors are also present in some tram and light rail stops such as the Xijiao Light rail , Nanjing tram and Chengdu tram . Several underground high speed railway stations of

2464-400: The remaining stations. Automatic platform gates are currently only used in at-grade and elevated stations, while platform screen doors are used in all underground and some at-grade or elevated stations. None of the light rail platforms have platform screen doors or automatic platform gates installed. The MTR Corporation had since mid-1996, been studying the feasibility of installing PSDs at

2520-553: The same time, keep costs low and non-air-conditioned platforms naturally ventilated. However, these gates are less effective than full platform screen doors in preventing people from intentionally jumping onto the tracks. These gates were first in practical use by the Hong Kong MTR on the Disneyland Resort line for the open-air station designs. Most half-height platform edge door designs have taller designs than

2576-401: The station floor and ceiling, while the half-height platform screen doors are referred to as platform edge doors or automatic platform gates , as they do not reach the ceiling and thus do not create a total barrier. Platform gates are usually only half of the height of the full-screen doors, are chest-height sliding doors at the edge of railway platforms to prevent passengers from falling off

2632-804: The suspended monorail in Dortmund , called H-Bahn . Plans are underway to test platform screen doors on the Munich U-Bahn in 2023 and line U5 & U6 will be installed in late 2026. All stations on the forthcoming line U5 on the Hamburg U-Bahn will feature full-height platform screen doors. Platform screen doors will be used on the driverless Thessaloniki Metro , which opens in November 2023 and in Line 4 of Athens Metro . Currently, all heavy rail and medium-capacity railway platforms outside

2688-507: The ten stations of the Saint Petersburg Metro 's Line 2 that opened between 1961 and 1972. The platform "doors" are actually openings in the station wall, which supports the ceiling of the platform. The track tunnels adjoining the ten stations' island platforms were built with tunnel boring machines (TBMs), and the island platforms were actually located in a separate vault between the two track tunnels. Usually, TBMs bore

2744-501: The ticket barriers, close to the north gate. The station opened on 25 February 1901, as a station of Nippon Railway, which was nationalized in 1906. After serving the Yamanote Line for a century, on 1 December 2002, new platforms for the Saikyō Line, the Rinkai Line and the Shōnan-Shinjuku Line opened on the west side of the station. Station numbering was introduced to the Rinkai Line platforms in 2016 with Ōsaki being assigned station number R08. Later in August 2016, station numbering

2800-451: The train reaches the station, a special scanner on the platform receives and scans the information on the ID tag placed on the train to identify the type and the number of train cars. With the type and the number of cars for the arriving train having been instantly identified, each unit will slide automatically to match the length of the stopped train cars. The parent and child doors then slide into

2856-523: The trains in the tunnels. Singapore 's Mass Rapid Transit , opened in 1987, is often described as the first heavy metro system in the world to incorporate PSDs into its stations for climate control and safety reasons, rather than architectural constraints, though the light Lille Metro , opened in 1983, predates it. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, platform screen doors can refer to both full-height and half-height barriers. Full height platform screen doors are total barriers between

2912-484: The underground stations. New rolling stock is being constructed, with doors that will line up with full-height ones on the platforms. The future automated rapid transit Suburban Rail Loop rail system, which will open in 2035 will also have platform screen doors at every station. The Cross River Rail in Brisbane, which is currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2026, will have platform screen doors on

2968-714: Was decided that the PSDs were to be removed to allow for smoother train operations. With the opening of the Tung Chung line and Airport Express , Hong Kong had its first full-height PSDs fully operational in 1998. The MTR decided in 1999 to undertake the PSD Retrofitting Programme at 74 platforms of 30 select underground stations on the Kwun Tong , Island , and Tsuen Wan lines . 2,960 pairs of PSDs were ordered from Gilgen Door Systems. Choi Hung became

3024-450: Was granted a patent for "Safety fence and gate for railway-platforms". The invention consisted of "a fence for railway platform edges", composed of a series of pickets bolted to the platform edge, and vertically movable pickets that could retract into a platform edge when there was a train in the station. In 1917, Carl Albert West was granted a patent for "Gate for subrailways and the like". The invention provided for spaced guides secured to

3080-559: Was installed in Vasil Levski Stadium Metro Station and Opalchenska Metro Station of the Sofia Metro Line 1 and Line 2. In total, such rope-type safety barriers will be installed on more 10 of the busiest stations on the Line 1 and 2 of the Sofia Metro , providing increased safety for passengers and protecting against accidental falls. Screen doors are in use at all three LINK Train stations and

3136-675: Was introduced to the JR East platforms with Osaki being assigned station numbers JS17 for the Shonan-Shinjuku Line, JA08 for the Saikyo Line, and JY24 for the Yamanote Line. At the same time, JR East assigned its major transfer stations in the Tokyo area a 3-letter code; Osaki was assigned the code "OSK". In fiscal 2013, the JR East station was used by an average of 143,397 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), making it
