A passenger information system, PIS, for a public transport vehicle comprises a public compartment and a restricted compartment. The PIS comprises i) a passenger information terminal for communicating information to users when located in the public compartment; and ii) a first electronic identification device configured to receive an electronic identification from an operator when located in the restricted compartment and to register the electronic identification with the PIS as a registered electronic identification; and iii) an interfacing system comprising inputting means for inputting information into the PIS. A second electronic identification device is configured to receive an electronic identification from a user of the interfacing system. The PIS is arranged to authorize the inputting of information when the electronic identification from the user matches the registered electronic identification.

The vehicle monitoring system includes a plurality of cameras provided corresponding to a plurality of doors provided on both sides (A side and B side) of each vehicle, and a management device for determining a camera corresponding to an open door. The management device determines a camera whose initial position is on the B side as the display use camera to be used for display, with respect to a vehicle in which the initial position of the door open camera corresponding to the open door identified by the open door identification information, and the door opening-side information match with the B side. With respect to a vehicle in which the initial position of the door open camera and the door opening-side information do not match with the B side, the management device determines a camera whose initial position is on the A side as the display use camera.

The present disclosure discloses a rail transport system. The rail transport system includes: a rail, where the rail is provided with an escape passage; and a rail vehicle, where the rail vehicle includes a vehicle body and a plurality of bogies, the plurality of bogies respectively movably straddles the rail, and the vehicle body is connected to the plurality of bogies and pulled by the plurality of bogies to travel along the rail; and the vehicle body includes a plurality of compartments hinged sequentially along a length direction of the rail. The rail transport system according to this embodiment of the present disclosure has advantages such as facilitation of evacuation of passengers in an emergency, low costs, small occupied space, small rail weight bearing, high stability, and large passenger capacity.

A pinch detection device, for detecting the occurrence of pinch during closing of one pair of sliding doors, is composed of a first door front edge rubber to be attached to an edge portion in a closing movement direction of one sliding door of the one pair of sliding doors, and a second door front edge rubber to be attached to an edge portion in a closing movement direction of an other sliding door of the one pair of sliding doors. The first door front edge rubber includes a recessed portion, which is open toward the second door front edge rubber, with a linear shape pressure sensitive sensor, which is sensitive to a pressure in the event of pinch, being disposed in that recessed portion.

A threshold assembly for a vehicle door includes an external sliding threshold configured to be coupled with an exterior surface of a vehicle having a doorway. The external sliding threshold is configured to extend over the doorway to provide a threshold surface on which one or more passengers enter the vehicle via the doorway or exit the vehicle via the doorway. The external sliding threshold laterally projects from the exterior surface of the vehicle to reduce or eliminate a spatial gap between the vehicle and a platform from which the one or more passengers enter the vehicle or onto which the one or more passengers exit the vehicle.
