Alternative Japanese Design for Moving Subway Barriers: Minimum Viable Product, or Best Solution Within Constraints?
I Think t's a good idea, but can't think of why it doesn't go closer to the bottom. That's enough room for someone to slide right under if they wanted to.
i wonder if there's a height clearance limit, otherwise I'll definitely do a rotating door that fans up and to the left and right that can also collapse into each side so it doesn't go incredibly high. (so 4 "panels" into 2 panels that also rotate towards the sides)
Last time I was there they were running a few generations/models of train, so your first guess may be correct. Although, I'll admit I wasn't too focused on the door design of each type.
I'm sure no kid will get its head stuck in it.
I think it is a good design. As you mentioned not sure if the stopping is automated. So it would be less of a headache for the driver to stop at precisely the right place to align the train door and the platform door. I think it is a minimalist alternative for the double door of the train and the platform.
