EN 17168 is structured to address all critical aspects of platform barrier systems, divided into several comprehensive sections.
Section 4 of the standard dictates how platform screen doors (PSDs) and platform edge gates (PEGs) must withstand harsh environmental forces. Structural Loading Conditions For legal advice, consult a professional
General Structural Requirements – The platform barrier system must withstand specified design loads, including crowd loading from passengers and aerodynamic pressure from passing trains. Annex B provides informative guidance on structural design principles.
Barriers must withstand exceptional kinetic forces. Systems are evaluated against continuous structural loading conditions, which include massive crowd-crush pressures during peak hours and heavy aerodynamic suction caused by non-stopping express trains bypassing the platform. 2. Glazing and Panelling Materials
Control System Integrity – Reliability and fail-safe requirements for control architecture.
