Considerations for Brownfield Deployment of Platform Screen Doors and CBTC as Engineering Solutions for Efficient and Safe Operations

Platform screen doors and CBTC are two technologies that prove particularly challenging for an existing rail system to adopt. It is often like trying to fit a square peg into a round whole; it will not work unless the peg, the hole, or both undergo dramatic, expensive, inconvenient alterations. This session looks at lessons learned that can make the brownfield implementations of these technologies smoother in the future.
