Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a guidance and security system for transport means, in particular complex mass transport systems, in which automatic passenger counting, security monitoring, for example, against fire, crime and terrorism, control of the use of individual elements of the transport system, such as vehicles, trains etc., automatic monitoring of the track and passenger information are connected with each other by an electronic “backbone”. The system comprises at least one guidance means for at least one transport means an/or for people, several recording units and a central unit. The central unit is connected to the recording units and the guidance means. The recording units are for determining the number of people located at a particular time and in a particular spatial area such that the central unit can control the guidance means depending thereon, in order that the appropriate number of vehicles is automatically provided with the necessary frequency and to guide passengers to the vehicle entrances.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A transport guidance system, comprising: at least one guidance means for guiding the movement of at least one transport vehicle movable relative to a stationary embarking/disembarking area, and of people in at least the embarking/disembarking area and an entry/exit area, the embarking/disembarking area disposed between said at least one transport vehicle and said entry/exit area, said embarking/disembarking area including: a first interface between said emb…
