An Urban Intermodal Freight System is capable of transporting large volumes and tonnage of freight by containerized or other means on a mass transit rail system. It captures excess capacity in the existing mass transit rail infrastructure to move packages, parcels, and freight by using miniaturized intermodal cargo containers that are designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing transit infrastructure, while displacing delivery trucks from increasingly crowded city streets. By enabling inbound trucks to transfer their cargo to the Urban Intermodal Freight System at a city's outskirts, freight is delivered without trucks entering congested downtown areas, greatly alleviating traffic congestion, delays, greenhouse gas emissions and other negative environmental impacts. The Linear Loading Dock and Conveyor System may have other useful applications, for example to access a facility, building or vehicle, or in other circumstances where off street truck parking or loading docks are not available.

A platform screen door system having a fixed panel and a door panel, wherein the system is provided with a track (11) having a convex surface adapted to support a roller (14), which roller is rotatably mounted on the moving panel and has a concave surface and has two points of contact (17) on the track.

A trailer vehicle having a stillage for one or more platform screen door module, wherein a respective first and second lifting module is provided at the respective front and rear end of the trailer vehicle, wherein the lifting module comprises a support bed and post for the platform screen door module, which is configured to laterally translate the or each platform screen door module and is provided with a tilt mechanism The tilt mechanism allows the support post to tilt around 20 degrees forwards and 10 degrees backwards from a plane vertical with respect to the trailer to compensate for positive and negative camber of the tracks.

To simplify the operation of a cableway and at the same time ensure safe operation, it is provided that, in a cableway station, at least one openable safety barrier is provided, wherein a sensor for detecting an opening state of the at least one safety barrier is provided in the cableway station, which sensor transmits a sensor signal to a control unit of a cableway drive as a function of the opening state, wherein the control unit controls the cableway drive as a function of the obtained sensor signal, wherein the control unit is provided to stop the cableway drive or to reduce a drive speed of the cableway drive, when a sensor signal corresponding to an open position of the safety barrier is received, wherein the safety barrier has a remotely-operable actuating unit which can be activated, by means of a remote control unit, to reset the safety barrier from the open position, in which the cableway drive is stopped or the drive speed is reduced, into a closed position, in which the cableway drive can be activated again or the drive speed can be increased again.

A platform screen door system comprising a plurality of fixed panels and a plurality of sliding door panels, which sliding door panels have a proximal side to the fixed panels and a distal side remote from the fixed panel. The sliding door panels are supported by a frame, wherein the frame at distal side has a greater thickness than the frame at the proximal side.

Even in a case where an external camera image-captures a door of a car, with high precision, it can be set to be determined whether or not a foreign substance inserted into the door is present. A monitoring apparatus acquires a camera image that results from a camera image-capturing the vicinity of a door of a car using an external camera, from a camera. A processor of the monitoring apparatus detects the door from the camera image, sets a determination area based on a position of the detected door, acquires an image of the determination area from the camera image, determines whether or not a foreign substance inserted into the door is present, based on the image of the determination area, and performs report outputting to a monitor and a reporting apparatus according to a result of the determination.

A gap blocking system includes a loading platform having a gap separating a first portion of the loading platform from a second portion of the loading platform. A ride vehicle is coupled to a transport extending through the gap. The gap blocking system also includes a panel assembly coupled to the loading platform and comprising a plurality of panels, wherein each panel of the plurality of panels is coupled to a respective biasing mechanism coupled to the first portion of the loading platform and configured to bias each panel towards a closed configuration in which each panel extends radially away from the first portion of the loading platform.
