Making Escalators Safer: Custom Bollard Solution for Alstom at Port Authority NY/NJ
Alstom, a global leader in the transportation industry, specializing in the development and manufacturing of rail systems and services, was tasked by the Port Authority of NY/NJ with enhancing passenger safety around escalators. Escalator areas can become a hazardous area when passengers attempt to load baggage carts onto the moving stairs. These carts, being top-heavy and hard to maneuver, pose a significant tipping risk, potentially causing injury to both the cart user and to passengers below. Preventing such incidents is critical for ensuring overall passenger safety. In addition, addressing the need for efficient escalator closures during maintenance was another key challenge that required a thoughtful solution that had to work in conjunction with their initial safety concerns. Space constraints and specific floor conditions made traditional portable stanchions unsuitable, leading to the need for a custom, tailored solution.
