When taking the MRT, there is one thing that is particularly troubling: if you are unlucky enough to get into the overcrowded "Sardine Car", you can only squeeze in after the door opens, otherwise it will be almost closed. The door is clamped, that is, you are forcibly refused to leave the carriage. You watch the train leave in front of your eyes, but you are so sad that you don't know that some carriages in the whole train are completely empty.
If you resonate with the above scenario, your eyes will light up when you see this new invention! The design company Edenspiekermann developed an LED display for the Dutch Railways, which can inform people waiting for the train in advance which carriages have empty seats. , to divert crowds and make getting on and off the train faster and smoother.
When people go to the platform to get behind the train, they can easily judge which car to wait for by looking at the instructions on the display. Green means there are still vacancies, yellow means it is crowded, and red means it is full. In addition, this screen also integrates carriage categories and uses patterns to help you distinguish carriages that are "bike-friendly", "wheelchair-friendly" and "large luggage", and guide people to the carriages they need.
ProRail, the company responsible for railway maintenance in the Netherlands, said that it would cooperate with Edenspiekermann to speed up passenger transportation during peak hours. This system has been well received after being piloted in Den Bosch, the Netherlands, and has also improved the operational efficiency of the railway. In the future It is planned to be rolled out to more stations. So dear MRT company, is there any other way we can make it more convenient and faster for passengers to get on and off the bus?
