Intervention & Deterrent Packages

Platform Screen Doors (Half-Height PSD) Physical platform barrier with synchronized sliding train gates. Blocks 72% of track ingress.

Infrared Laser Track Intrusion Alarms Automated optical beam grid with direct CBTC emergency train braking. Detects 98% of intrusions.

Dynamic LED Edge Warning & Tactile Pavers High-lumen pulsating yellow platform edge illumination alerting incoming train crowds.

Transit Safety Engineering Model: Intrusion frequency scales with crowding density index (Ridership / Platform Width) and historical incident baselines. Mitigations apply compounded empirical prevention factors according to MTA safety committee research and international transit door benchmarks.
