The carrying capacity of an escalator system is typically matched to the expected peak traffic demand. For example, escalators at transit stations must be designed to cater for the peak traffic flow discharged from a train, without excessive bunching at the escalator entrance. In this regard, escalators help manage the flow of people.
Traffic barrier with a pedestrian guardrail behind it. Traffic barriers (known in North America as guardrails or guard rails, [1] in Britain as crash barriers, [2] and in auto racing as Armco barriers [3]) keep vehicles within their roadway and prevent them from colliding with dangerous obstacles such as boulders, sign supports, trees, bridge abutments, buildings, walls, and large storm drains ...
The escalator system is 800 m (2,600 ft) long with a vertical climb of 135 m (443 ft). [6] The total travel time is twenty minutes, but many people walk while the escalator moves to shorten their trip. [6] Due to the geographical situation, the same distance is equivalent to several miles of zigzagging roads if travelling by car.
The station has two entrances and exits. The main station entrance and ventilation building consists of four escalators and an elevator on the west side of Hudson Boulevard between 33rd and 34th Streets. [20] [98] The main entrance has a turtle shell-shaped glass canopy above it that allows light to shine on the upper mezzanine. [86]
The cost would be around $31.7 million to install, plus $5 million in annual maintenance costs. [157] Since the clocks are based on the Transit Wireless Wi-Fi, installation of each set of displays would cost $211,000 at every aboveground station (which did not have Transit Wireless as of 2016 [update] ) and $54,000 at every underground station ...
In August 2012, the Japanese government announced plans to install barriers at stations used by 100,000 or more people per day, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism allotted 36 million yen ($470,800) for research and development of the system the 2011-2012 fiscal year. A difficulty was the fact that some stations are ...
A set of yellow truncated domes on the down-ramp in a parking lot. Tactile paving (also called tenji blocks, truncated domes, detectable warnings, tactile tiles, tactile ground surface indicators, tactile walking surface indicators, or detectable warning surfaces) is a system of textured ground surface indicators found at roadsides (such as at curb cuts), by and on stairs, and on railway ...
Old turnstiles at Alewife station on the MBTA Red Line in Cambridge, MA, U.S.. A turnstile (also called a gateline, baffle gate, automated gate, turn gate in some regions) is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time.
