'HOWEVER, you do have the problem of the doors closing when persons are still in the passageway moving in and out of the car.'That 'passageway' is only a few inches long - the platform-edge doors align with the car doors, and they are within a few inches of the side of the car. It's impossible to be caught in between the car door and the platform door, even for an anorexic. If the car door hits you, the platform door does too, and vice versa. I assume - though I don't know - that the controls work in such a way that the platform doors and the car doors open simultaneously, and then they close simulaltaneously. That is certainly what happens on AirTrain and its equivalents at other airports, on the Jubilee Line Extension, on line 14 in Paris, and in St Petersburg - which are the only places where I've seen platform doors. |
