Translation of "Fahrgastwechsel" in English

The platform edges, which were previously only about 20 cm high, were a significant obstacle to passengers changing trains.

The second operating condition is the travelling operation during which no passenger change takes place.

In addition, in the case of a change of passengers at stops, the vehicle height must be held approximately constant.

Four doorways on each of the bidirectional vehicle’s sides permit a rapid exchange of passengers.

For quick boarding and alighting, each car was fitted with three doors on one side only; a pair of cars therefore has six doors.

This enables a generous amount of standing room to be made available for the efficient boarding and alighting of passengers at bus stops.

Track 2 has been set up for the shuttle traffic to Täsch, and is used according to the Spanish solution, with both sides equipped with platforms to allow a rapid exchange of passengers.

The logic implemented in the electronic height system basically differentiates between two different operating conditions, such as stoppage of the vehicle at the stop during which the doors are released to be opened and during which a load change may take place, as well as the travel operation during which, as a rule, no change of passengers will take place.

This also helps speed up passenger changeovers and ensures that the new seven-and-a-half minute pace can be respected on the busy route to Bolligen.

Step-free access at the front and in the middle of the vehicle ensure easy passenger changes, while the raised floor in the rear sections means all seats can be positioned in the direction of travel.

In particular, a change of passenger may be carried out in first position or in the second position, so that the experience of falling occurs for passengers at the beginning or at the end of the ride.

In trains of interconnected cars of the type named above, in which several rail vehicles are coupled to each other and all-around closed passage devices are provided to enable passengers to change from one car to another, when anticlimbers are used, the problem arises, as already mentioned above, that there is only very little installation space available.

In 1987 and 1988, several platforms on the Hardt Railway were raised to 38 centimetres to give passengers a less difficult entry into the vehicles and thus accelerate boarding.

The Sprinter City 75 and 45 already meet the legally required entry height of 270 millimetres when in operation, which means that no complex vehicle lowering or kneeling technology is required when passengers board and alight.

Defective doors can constitute a hazard to passengers in emergency situations and, in everyday life, are hindrance to speedy passenger boarding and alighting.

At the same time, heaters have been fitted in the door areas in order to keep the temperature inside as constant as possible when passengers embark and disembark.

Four double-width doors, two of which are situated in the trailing section, step-free entrances and exits throughout and areas for standing passengers, parents with pushchairs, and wheelchair users make for fast passenger turnover.

The three-part trains for the suburban railway in Hanover have a total vehicle length of 68 metres with eight passenger doors on each side that allow fast passenger exchange.
