Pushing for progress: In Düsseldorf, the push and load on platforms is being scientifically researched.
The aim is to make train stations safer.
Düsseldorf - The crowd on the platform is being scientifically researched.
1500 test persons are invited to an event hall in Düsseldorf.
Experiments will be carried out with them for four days, as announced by Forschungszentrum Jülich.
The aim is to develop new concepts to increase safety in overcrowded train stations.
It simulates staying on a platform or getting on and off at train doors.
The researchers will record the subjects 'movements and collect data such as the participants' heartbeat and stress levels.
Prof. Armin Seyfried will present the project today.

Due to the steadily growing number of passengers, there is an increasing number of dangerous crowds on the platforms at peak times or after major events.
The study is intended to help increase the safety and efficiency of train stations.
Measures such as the equalization of crowds are also intended to increase comfort and reduce the risk of infections.
