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
- TraffiContact: Diese optische Schaltleiste nutzt faseroptische Sensorik (1,6 mm Durchmesser) zur Einklemmerkennung an Schließkanten. Sie erkennt kleinste Objekte, ist immun gegen Verschmutzung, Regen und elektromagnetische Störungen und minimiert durch ihre Robustheit Ersatzteilkosten.
- TrafficonLineComfort: Dieser neuartigen; selbstlernende Sensor öffnet die Einstiegstür automatisch, wenn sich ein Fahrgast der Tür nähert (handsfree): Dadurch wird der Fahrgastwechsel beschleunigt unter Einhaltung der Hygieneanforderungen und hilft Menschen mit Handicap, Kinderwagen und Fahrgästen mit viel Gepäck. Es ermöglicht dadurch ein barrierefreies Einsteigen. Auch dieser Sensor besitzt eine Bahnzulassung und eine Typgenehmigung (E1).
- TrafficonLine: Ein mehrstrahliger, selbstlernender Sensor überwacht den gesamten Türraum, inklusive Einstiegshilfen. Er passt sich automatisch an die sich ständig veränderten Umgebungsbedingungen an, verhindert Fehlauslösungen, ist nach Bahnnorm EN50155 zertifiziert und verfügt über eine Typgenehmigung (e1) für Kraftverkehrsfahrzeuge.
- TrafficonOneLine: 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.
- TrafficonGrid: Ein Lichtgitter mit 5-fach gekreuzten Strahlen für hochfrequentierte Fahrzeuge. Die Durchschraubtechnik erleichtert die Montage, und präzise Überwachung minimiert Betriebsunterbrechungen.
- Individuelle Lösungen: MTC entwickelt maßgeschneiderte Sensoren, die spezifische Anforderungen von Verkehrsbetrieben erfüllen, um nachhaltige Türraumüberwachung zu optimieren.
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.
