SIUT GmbH
Luminous platform edge made of light fiber concrete
The entry
“Caution at the edge of the platform!” SIUT GmbH from Berlin has developed a solution precisely for this danger. A luminous platform edge made of light fiber concrete directs and warns passengers on the platform.
Decision of the jury
The tactile guidance system in the floor provides signals that warn of passing trains, controls passenger flows, and thus avoids crowding and falls. And it provides a visual barrier at the edge of the platform. The system has also proved its practical benefit in test railway stations.
