Intelligent door systems for a new generation of city buses
The new Smart Door System from Schaltbau Bode has been designed to meet exactly these requirements. This system is intelligent, lightweight and electrically powered. It monitors passengers entering and leaving the vehicle, and when and where a ramp needs to be deployed for persons with wheel chairs or baby carriages.
The concept is modularly constructed so that it can be used for city buses of the present generation as well as for self-driving and electrically powered shuttle systems of the future. A key element of this door system is the BMUplus, or Boarding Management Unit plus. This unit is equipped with an interior and exterior sensor system that monitors the area inside and outside the vehicle for movements and persons.
