The invention refers to a system for monitoring the position of the doors of a moving car in a cable transportation system, the car comprising two doors and the monitoring system comprising an electronic control unit. The monitoring system comprises a detection target on each door, and a fixed detection device, such as a proximity switch with a field of action, which emits a detection signal when a target passes through the field of action, which is connected to the control unit and is positioned so that it can emit a detection signal when the car passes through a control zone. The control unit determines that the two doors of the car are correctly positioned if the distance between the two doors is less than a predetermined opening threshold.

A control and drive assembly for a transport vehicle door, and which includes a main control unit; a main motor to drive the door leaves and which is controlled by the main control unit to displace the leaves; an auxiliary control module; an auxiliary motor operable to: control the auxiliary motor so as to displace the leaves in at least one direction to a closed position, control a locking of the leaves in the closed position; and a connection device arranged between the main control unit and the auxiliary motor to facilitate transmission of a reference signal by the main control unit to the auxiliary control module, the reference signal being representative of a proper operating state of the main motor and the main control unit. The auxiliary control module is operable to actuate the auxiliary motor when the auxiliary control module does not receive the reference signal.

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 door system for a vacuum train includes at least one vehicle with at least one vehicle door and a track including at least one evacuated pipe that guides and propels elements within the pipe. The track includes at least one station outside of the pipe with at least one station door arranged within the wall of the pipe to selectively close and open the station towards the pipe. The vehicle door and the station door being arranged in a corresponding position when the vehicle is at rest, so that persons can leave or enter the vehicle when the vehicle door and the station doors are open at the rest position. The door system comprises at least one inflatable ring shaped seal (22) which surrounds both doors when the doors are in their corresponding position and which seals in its inflated position both doors against the vacuum within the pipes.
