A monitored escalator barricade system is disclosed herein having a barricade assembly including a hosting column supporting a one-way swinging door and a magnetic locking mechanism. The barricade assembly is installable at a landing floor and allows for one-way passage of a user riding along an outer edge of an escalator in order to prevent injuries. The barricade assembly utilizes IR beam transmitters on an exterior of the hosting column to detect when a user arrives near the landing floor and unlock the one-way swinging door as the user approaches. The monitored escalator barricade system includes various visual and audio indicators for notifying authorities.

A handrail safety control device, a transportation system and a handrail safety control method. The handrail safety control device is provided for a transportation system having a handrail, the handrail including a body and a handrail belt, the handrail belt being driven under power to move relative to the body and forming an engaged state or a disengaged state with the body. The handrail safety control device includes: a contact portion disposed in a preset section of the handrail, the contact portion being in a first state or a second state respectively when the handrail belt in the preset section is in the engaged state or the disengaged state, wherein in the first state, the contact portion is in contact with the handrail belt, and in the second state, the contact portion is at least partially out of contact with the handrail belt; and a signal generation portion.

Disclosed in an embodiment is a light source comprising: a housing; a coupling unit which fixes the housing on the target structure; a light source module for emitting light onto the target structure; and a power source module which supplies power to the light source module. The light source module comprises: a first circuit board; a second circuit board disposed on one side of the first circuit board; a third circuit board disposed on another side of the first circuit board; at least one first ultraviolet light emitting element disposed on one surface of the first circuit board; at least one second ultraviolet light emitting element disposed on one surface of the second circuit board; and at least one third ultraviolet light emitting element disposed on one surface of the third circuit board, wherein one surface of the second circuit board and one surface of the third circuit are disposed so as to face each other.

Provided is an abnormality detection device, in which a sound signal acquisition unit connected to a passenger conveyor converts a sound wave around each of inspection guide shoes mounted to a step into a sound signal. A sound signal analysis unit analyses the sound signal and extracts a sound pressure or a main frequency. The controller has not only a function as a command unit configured to command an operation for causing the step to run but also a function as an abnormality determination unit configured to determine an abnormality in skirt guards based on the sound pressure or the main frequency. The sound signal analysis unit in the abnormality detection device analyzes the sound signal acquired by the sound signal acquisition unit under a state in which the step is caused to run, and extracts the sound pressure or the main frequency.

A transport device for conveying passengers between first and second landing areas in a conveying direction may include a skirt member and a balustrade, which may include lower and upper sides, extending between the landing areas. The skirt member may be secured to the lower side. An endless moving handrail may form a loop. A first section of the handrail moves along the upper side of the balustrade in the conveying direction, and a second section of the handrail moves within the skirt member opposite the conveying direction. Two turnaround sections are disposed between the first and second sections near the first and second landing areas, respectively. At least one of the turnaround sections includes a cover member that renders part of the turnaround section of the handrail inaccessible to passengers. The cover member may comprise a positioning mechanism for adjustably positioning the cover member relative to the balustrade.
