Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a train platform safety device including a passenger and obstacle detection function, the train platform safety device including: multiple lifting/lowering units provided on selected portions of an entrance and an exit of a platform; at least two moving bodies provided in the lifting/lowering units; ropes provided horizontally; a motor moving the moving body upward and downward; and a detection means controlling the upward and downward movements of the moving body. According to the present invention, when the ropes hit a passenger or an obstacle while moving upward and downward, the platform safety device detects the hitting and stops or moves the ropes in a direction contrary to a direction in which each of the ropes is moving, thereby preventing accidents. Unlike the conventional detection device, frequent malfunctions or misoperations of the sensor caused by foreign materials do not occur, so that operation reliability is obtained.
