A predetermined image processing is carried out on the images that have been taken by the cameras 101 through 108 attached to a side of the cars that form a train before the images are displayed on the monitor 301 that is mounted in the train. That is to say, as a first image processing, among the images to be displayed, a left-right inversion process is carried out on the images where the positional relationship between the cars and the platform in the image is opposite between left and right to the positional relationship as viewed in the direction in which the train is to travel. In addition, as a second image processing, a cutout process is carried out on the images to be displayed so that the cutout regions differ in accordance with the opening and closing state of the doors.

A side sliding door of a railway vehicle comprises a door body (100), and a driving device for the opening and closing of a doorway. An outer surface of the door body (100) is flush with an outer surface of the vehicle body when the door body (100) is closed. A movement track of the door body is arranged as an arc-plus-linear reciprocating motion. The outer surface of the door body is flush with the outer surface of the vehicle body when the door body is closed, so that there exists no height difference between the vehicle body and a doorway of the side sliding door. Snow accumulation at doorway under an extreme cold working condition is avoided, and then the risk of a door body being frozen is reduced.

An equipment carrier holding device has a housing with a door. A screwing block is arranged in the housing. A clamping block and a fastening screw fix a fastening link of an item of equipment between the clamping block and the screwing block. The clamping block is positioned in relation to the door such that, in the event of incomplete arresting of the fastening screw, the fastening screw forms a mechanical barrier to complete closing of the door. A rail vehicle is also described which is equipped with such an equipment carrier holding device.

A notification device includes a notification line for notifying a vehicle control device that a door is closed, a first door lock switch that electrically connects the notification line when the door is closed and disconnects the notification line when the door is opened, and an interruption unit that interrupts a signal transmitted through the notification line when an abnormality of the first door lock switch is detected.

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 door opening/closing device includes: an opening/closing bar attached to a door, which is actuated by a motor and is used for opening and closing the door; a door closing state detecting part configured to detect whether the door is in a closed state; a locking device configured to lock and unlock the door; a lock pin capable of being moved to a locked position or an unlocked position by the locking device; an engaging member attached to the opening/closing bar, which includes an engaging part configured to engage with the lock pin moved to the locked position; a first spring provided between the opening/closing bar and the engaging member; and a locking control unit configured to cause the locking device to lock the door when the closed state is detected by the door closing state detecting part.

A door control device includes: a speed control unit configured to perform speed control of an electric motor that drives a door; a speed detection unit configured to detect a speed of the door; and an obstruction detection unit configured to detect obstruction between the door and a door pocket, upon a value of the speed of the door detected by the speed detection unit decreasing by a first predetermined value or more with respect to a speed command value in the speed control during a door opening operation of the door.

A control system for an electrically-operated railroad car end door includes, an actuator, a processor, and a memory storing program instructions that cause the processor to instruct the actuator to begin generating a braking force applied to the railroad car end door in response to an opening of the railroad car end door, and determine whether the railroad car end door is being manually opened by a person based on information related to a state of the railroad car end door while the braking force is being generated.

A signaling assembly for a door leaf of an access door to a transport vehicle, including a seal that has an attaching region intended to be received at least partially in the housing of a profile of the door leaf, as well as a lighting region, and means of lighting, able to illuminate the lighting region of the seal, in such a way as to emit at least one visual signal, in particular representative of the opened and/or closed state of the door. The assembly includes a locking key received at least partially in an interior volume of the seal, with the key being able to prevent a pulling off of the seal outside the profile along a transversal direction, in reference to the main direction of the seal, the means of lighting being fixed on the locking key.

Disclosed are object detection systems for automated compartment closure assemblies, methods for operating such systems, and motor vehicles with a power liftgate assembly and foreign object detection capabilities. A method is disclosed for detecting objects obstructing the path of an automated closure assembly. The method includes receiving a command signal to move the closure assembly to an open or closed position, and receiving gesture-sensitive sensor signals with a location and velocity of an object within a supervision field. Responsive to the object being inside a protected zone within the supervision field or the object's velocity being towards the protected zone, commanding an automated driving mechanism to: slow the closure assembly's speed; if the object is still located inside the protected zone after a calibrated period of time, stop the closure assembly; and if the object moves outside the protected zone, increase the closure assembly speed to a default speed.
