The front door (1) tilts in the structure of the vehicle (VP) by means of upper hinges (2), assisted by dampers (3) connected to the internal structure (4) of the front door (1) and to the vehicle, provided with the lower portion (5) articulated by the lower hinge (6) to the structure of the vehicle (VP). The lower portion of the door (5) projects outwards when the front door (1) is opened through the action of cables (15) and pulleys (16). On the opening of the lower portion of the door (5), a retractable staircase (7) extends; when retracted, it folds under the floor of the vehicle (8). The front door (1) is activated internally by the passengers using a lever (9) that tums a rod (10), moving shafts (11) that release the locking mechanism. The internal release depends on an electromagnetic safety key, making it possible to open the front door (1) if the vehicle breaks down.

The invention relates to a double-leaf vehicle door device comprising at least the following: two door leaves, each of which can be moved between an open position and a closed position in the form of a respective end position and into any intermediate position between the first open position and the first closed position, wherein a first movement of the first door leaf between the first open position and the first closed position is carried out without mechanically coupling the first door leaf to the second door leaf in contrast to a second movement of the second door leaf between the second open position and the second closed position, and a common locking device is provided which locks the first door leaf in the closed position when the first door leaf is located in the closed position and which locks the second door leaf in the closed position when the second door leaf is in the closed position. A pre-locking function is provided such that of the first door and the second door leaf, the door leaf which first reaches the closed position is held in the closed position at least until the other door leaf has also reached the closed position, and the locking device is additionally designed to only then lock or become capable of locking the first door leaf and the second door leaf.

The present disclosure discloses a rail transport system. The rail transport system includes: a rail, the rail includes a steering portion and a travelling portion, the travelling portion is connected to the steering portion, and a first recess is constructed on the travelling portion to form an escape passage; and a rail vehicle, where the rail vehicle includes bogies and a vehicle body, the bogie movably straddles the rail, the bogie fits in with an inner bottom surface of the escape passage of the travelling portion and the steering portion, and the bogie travels by using the travelling portion and is steered by using the steering portion, and the vehicle body is connected to the bogie and pulled by the bogie to travel along 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, and high stability.

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.
