THE go between the train and the door of the platform of line 5-lilac stations, administered by the concessionaire viamobility, have no presence sensors that avoid an accident Like the man who died crushed on the morning of Tuesday (6) at Campo Limpo station.
Technology is able to understand if there is the presence of a person or object in space and can prevent the train from continuing the trip.
In an interview with TV Band, the president of Viamobility, Francisco Pierrini, said that the trains have only sound and visual signs for passengers to know that the door will be closed.
“We want, until February 2026, to install presence sensors in the spaces between the train door and the platform door. With this, any object, person or thing that is there will be detected and the door will not close,” he said.
In the same interview, Pierrini stated that while sensors are not installed, a kind of physical barrier, such as metal rods, will be placed on all platforms. According to him, the measure would have avoided the death of the man who was crushed.
THE CNN He questioned the viamobility about why the lines did not have this sensor and asked for a confirmation of the installation forecast, but there was no return.
Metro-operated lines have anti-accident technology
Unlike the lines operated by the private company viamobility, in the subway, which is operated by the São Paulo government, all platform doors have devices to avoid closing the door when there are people or objects between the facades and the train.
“As an additional safety measure, the subway has intensified passenger guidelines and has installed bulkheads in these equipment to prevent the passenger from placing himself between the platform door and the train door,” says the subway in a statement.
