A platform door system is disclosed. The platform door system has: a platform data transmitting element positioned on a platform for transmitting a platform signal; a vehicle information integrating element, positioned on a vehicle adjacent to the platform, for receiving the platform signal and a vehicle signal corresponding to a door opening or closing status of the vehicle door from the vehicle, and for transmitting a platform-vehicle integration signal; and a platform door controlling element, positioned on the platform, for receiving the platform-vehicle integration signal and for opening or closing a platform door in response to the platform-vehicle integration signal to correspond to the opening-or-closing status of the vehicle door.

A method detects the wear state of a component of a door drive system of a rail vehicle. The method includes reading a sequence of first motor parameters and second motor parameters, wherein the first motor parameters represent a different physical variable of a motor of the door drive system than the second motor parameters. The method additionally includes checking whether a value which represents the sequence of the first motor parameters satisfies a specified criterion in order to detect the wear state of the component of the door drive system.

A device for protection against entrapment for a door for a vehicle includes an extruded profile extruded from an elastomer material, wherein the extruded profile includes a door leaf wall, which faces a contact edge of a door leaf of a door when the device is mounted on the door, a sealing wall arranged in an opposing position relative to the door leaf wall and a plunger for transferring a compression force into the extruded profile. The plunger is mounted on the sealing wall and extends along a transverse axis of the extruded profile away from the door leaf wall. The device also includes at least one switching element for detecting a compression of the extruded profile, wherein the at least one switching element is arranged in the region of the plunger between the door leaf wall and the plunger.

Systems and methods for monitoring an operation of a door of a public transportation vehicle are disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes an optical sensor unit and a control unit. The optical sensor is arranged at a distance from the door and configured to record a movement of the door during an opening and/or a closing. The control unit is configured to (1) determine a position of a reference point of the door based on the recorded movement of the door, (2) determine a parameter of the movement of the door during the movement based on the determined position of the reference point, (3) determine a deviation of the parameter of the movement from a predetermined/allowed range of values of the parameter, and (4) determine an error in the operation of the door based on the determined deviation.

A non-contact-type pinch prevention device suppressing the distortion of reception signals, caused by noise around an anti-pinch strip, to increase the reliability of a sensing operation for detecting a human body comprises: an anti-pinch strip which includes first and second lead wires buried in a strip body to be spaced from each other, and which allows the first lead wire to receive and output a sensing signal radiated through the second lead wire; a sensor board, which is connected to the first and second lead wires of the anti-pinch strip, generates the sensing signal in the second lead wire, and determines whether the human body is detected, according to the signal received by the first lead wire; and a control unit for performing a control operation corresponding to a body pinch situation according to a determination signal of the sensor board.

A guiding device for a door system, in particular a sliding or pivot sliding door system of a public transport vehicle, includes: a longitudinal profile formed from a first material for attachment to a door portal, which has a guiding track, which is U-shaped in cross section, with a bottom surface and two side walls extending at right angles therefrom, a slider, which at least partially reaches into the guiding track and is supported on rolling members in a linearly movable manner in the guiding track, wherein a bearing member formed from a second material is disposed in the guiding track, which extends along the guiding track and on which the rolling members supporting the slider roll during a linear movement of the slider, the second material forming the bearing member is harder than the first material forming the longitudinal profile.

A bifold door includes a first hinge and a second hinge configured to rotatably couple the bifold door to a doorframe. The bifold door includes a slider configured to slide within a track of the doorframe as the bifold door is opened and closed. At least one of the first hinge, the second hinge, and the slider includes a spherical bearing and a pin.

The invention relates to a device for sealing at least one door leaf for a rail vehicle said device having at least one sliding element which is designed to move the door leaf in a z direction of the rail vehicle when it is close to a closed position in order to force a sealing element of the door leaf against a sealing counter-element of a portal of the rail vehicle.

A method, system and device for controlling a door of a railway vehicle are provided. The method comprises: a door control instruction sent by a transponder is received when a railway vehicle draws into the station, wherein the door control instruction is used for determining a door of the railway vehicle at a platform side; and the railway vehicle is controlled to open the door of the railway vehicle at the platform side according to the door control instruction, thereby solving the technical problem that the door of a railway vehicle at the non-platform side may be opened by mistake by a driver due to human factors because the door of the railway vehicle at the platform side is manually opened when the railway vehicle stops.

A lifting apparatus (100) includes a connector assembly (110) with a first connecting member (120), a second connecting member (130) and a connecting link (140), the first and second connecting members (120, 130) configured to be pivot-mounted at first ends (122, 132) to a first stationary component (200), and a pneumatic supporting member (150) is coupled to the first and second connecting members (120, 130) via the connecting link (140). The connector assembly (110) and the pneumatic supporting member (150) are configured to perform a lifting motion, wherein, when performing the lifting motion, the first and second connecting members (120, 130) transition from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and the pneumatic supporting member (150) transitions from an extended position (EP) to a compressed position (CP).
