Abstract
To prevent accidents in which customers' luggage gets caught in the door of a train, we have developed a door catch detection device using a laser sensor with even higher detection accuracy in addition to the existing door-trap detection function of vehicles. In this study, we confirmed the basic characteristics of the developed device and examined the installation method of it through a short-term installation test on a vehicle. Then, we installed the device in a commercial vehicle to verify its detection performance in operation. We also conducted a test using a doll to start the vehicle with an object wedged in the door.
