Introduction: Sustainability in public transport begins at the door
Sustainability is shaping public transport. Transport operators strive to conserve resources, reduce costs, and ensure passenger safety. The Trafficonseries from Move & Traffic Controls GmbH (MTC) offers advanced door sensors that enable sustainable doorway monitoring. Models such as TraffiContact, TrafficonLine, TrafficonLine Comfort, TrafficonOneLine, and TrafficonGrid, as well as customized solutions, reduce maintenance and energy consumption. This article shows how Trafficon helps transport operators to operate sustainably.
Trafficonseries: Advanced door sensors for sustainable operation
The Trafficonseries was designed for door area monitoring and fully automatic door opening in buses, trains, and trams. Each model offers features that increase safety and save resources.
In detail: The Trafficonmodels and their strengths
- TraffiCon tact: This optical switching strip uses fiber optic sensors (1.6 mm diameter) for pinch detection on closing edges. It detects even the smallest objects, is immune to dirt, rain, and electromagnetic interference, and its robust design minimizes spare part costs.
- Trafficon LineComfort: This innovative, self-learning sensor automatically opens the boarding door when a passenger approaches (hands-free). This speeds up passenger exchange while adhering to hygiene requirements and assists people with disabilities, strollers, and passengers with lots of luggage. It enables barrier-free boarding. This sensor also has railway approval and type approval (E1).
- Trafficon Line: A multi-beam, self-learning sensor monitors the entire doorway, including boarding aids. It automatically adapts to constantly changing environmental conditions, prevents false triggers, is certified according to railway standard EN50155 and has type approval (e1) for road transport vehicles.
- Trafficon OneLine: A compact one-way miniature button light barrier, with test input and type approval (e1), which reduces maintenance effort through flexible integration and easy installation.
- Trafficon Grid: A light grid with 5-way crossed beams for high-traffic vehicles. The screw-through mounting system simplifies installation, and precise monitoring minimizes service interruptions.
- Individual solutions: MTC develops customized sensors that meet the specific requirements of transport companies to optimize sustainable doorway monitoring.
All sensors are vandal-proof, weather-resistant and energy-efficient, which extends their lifespan and conserves resources.
Individual solutions for specific requirements
Transport companies and workshops benefit from sustainable door area monitoring by Trafficon:
- Low maintenance: The robust design and self-learning functionality reduce environmental damage and vandalism, thus reducing the need for repairs and workshop visits, e.g. for TraffiContact and TrafficonGrid, due to environmental influences.
- Long service life: Weather resistance and self-learning capability, as with TrafficonLine and TrafficonLine Comfort, minimize failures and delay new investments.
- Energy efficiency: Models like TrafficonLine Comfort use minimal energy for contactless opening and intelligent monitoring, which reduces power consumption.
- Efficient installation: The simple assembly, e.g. through the screw-through technology of TrafficonGrid or the flexible integration of TrafficonOneLine, saves time and costs.
These properties enable sustainable, cost-efficient operating processes and support environmental goals.
Sustainability meets efficiency: Advantages for transport companies
The Trafficonseries improves passenger flow and minimizes service disruptions. TrafficonLine Comfort enables barrier-free boarding through automatic door opening, reducing waiting times and increasing operational efficiency. TraffiContact's precise entrapment detection protects passengers from accidents and reduces liability risks. The sensors' adaptability to various door systems and environmental conditions ensures consistent performance, optimizing resources. Tailor-made solutions ensure that transport operators receive the sustainable doorway monitoring they require.
Conclusion: Door sensors that combine security and environmental friendliness
Trafficon combines safety and sustainability in public transport. With vandal-proof, weatherproof and energy-efficient sensors such as TraffiContact, TrafficonLine, TrafficonLine Comfort, TrafficonOneLine and TrafficonGrid, as well as individual solutions, transport operators save on maintenance costs and reduce energy consumption.
