Falling Object Detector in Tokyu Yoga Station
Tokyu Den’en-toshi Line Yoga Station is on a curve. In such a station, the gap between the platform and a train is sometimes so wide that small person may fall into it. Tokyu installs falling object detector under the edge of a platform with large gap.
Three wires are captured under the platform in this photo (it may be hard to see them). They are the falling object detector.
I saw the device work once. While a person got off a train, a sandal fell off into the gap. We heard alarm sound. The train did not move for a few minutes until station staffs understood what had happened. (I think the sandal was picked up after the train left.)
