The Thessaloniki Metro is equipped with a Platform Screen Door (PSD) system at all Stations. This advanced system isolates the tunnels along the entire length of the platform, preventing access to the tracks and the areas where trains move. It offers numerous advantages for passenger safety and comfort. Specifically:
Top-Level Safety
The PSD system provides the highest level of safety while passengers are on the platform. The automated operation of the Thessaloniki Metro ensures that trains stop at predetermined points where the special platform entry-exit doors are located, aligning perfectly with the train doors. This synchronization of opening and closing doors ensures safe passenger movement and excludes the possibility of falling into the tunnel.
Protection from the Piston Effect
The automatic doors prevent the strong air currents caused by approaching or departing trains, offering greater comfort to passengers on the platform.
Stable Temperature
The PSD system helps maintain a stable temperature within the Stations, enhancing overall conditions.
Improved Passenger Communication
Noise from the tunnels and moving trains is reduced, improving the sound quality of platform announcements and facilitating passenger communication.
