Stations

Knowing where and when pedestrian congestion will occur enables you to act preventively. This prior knowledge ensures that any interventions become more effective and less cost-intensive while also minimising operational disruptions. Our crowd monitor for control rooms detects how public facilities will be used in the near future. If an overload occurs, operational managers and security personnel are warned in good time and can take effective action.

Would you like to know exactly where and when security staff are required? Knowing in advance means reduced staff costs and the optimisation of staff resources. Our deployment planning tool analyses the current operational situation, quantifies traffic hub dynamics, and enables optimal deployment of staff based on short and long-term forecasts

Incoming trains and large crowds on platforms are an ever-present danger in train stations. Our passenger alarm system averts any potential danger with timely automated loudspeaker announcements that warn passengers located outside of predefined safety zones before the train enters the station. This operational safety feature for platforms functions automatically and without the need for staff.

Data-based planning for future transport hubs.

For how long is it possible to operate a station or transport hub functionally and safely? ASE Capacity Check tests stations and demonstrates their ability to meet future demand. This allows for a fact-based approach toward effective investment planning. We model possible future load scenarios based on current data and projections. This data provides valuable insights regarding the capacity of a station and its viability in meeting ever-increasing future demands.

Passenger safety in stations must meet the requirements of the “safety certificate for public installations.” ASE can help with a clearly structured preparation plan for compliance that will simplify the process and shorten processing times. Thanks to its knowledge of the guidelines in various countries, ASE has obtained comprehensive know-how on the legal requirements regarding flows of people in the various legal contexts throughout the world.

In order to plan station conversions, the dimensions and projected passenger flows are just as important to architects as the number of tracks required, the desired retail space, or connections to the surrounding area. ASE supplies this key data in an easily understandable form to facilitate the design phase and ultimately ensure smooth operation upon completion.

Ensure continuous operation and customer satisfaction during intensive construction phases.

When public pedestrian transfer space within transport hubs is restricted it presents a particular challenge for operations. The construction phase scan offered by ASE checks not only the directing of passengers but also the dimensioning of temporary facilities based on the flow of people. This means that a station can remain operational even in challenging scenarios. This procedure is now standard in modern large-scale projects where it forms part of the risk management strategy and helps minimise unforeseen disruptions and the potential associated cost.

When transport hubs are under construction, passengers face unavoidable bottlenecks. A data-driven approach to ensuring continued operation helps minimise the disruption and associated risks. With appropriate operational measures, we help mitigate peak loads and increase the flow of passengers. When coupled with expectation management and targeted communication, customer satisfaction is also increased.

Effective building management means knowing which facilities require attention and when. Whether for spillages, cleaning schedules, or equipment breakdowns, ASE can help reduce costs and obtain increased efficiencies with a building management system that’s designed to work at every level.
