Hardware concept with tactile red/green indicator project Talgo F073 high speed train | Deutsche Bahn for entrance door sanitary module and cabin door staff

The hardware concept with tactile red/green display for the Talgo F073 high-speed train project, developed and delivered by Schwepper, represents a cutting-edge solution for the train doors. It was specifically designed for the entrance door to the sanitary module and the entrance door to the crew cabin, meeting the stringent requirements of Deutsche Bahn and international accessibility standards. All components are made from high-quality stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and resistance to external influences. Stainless steel also offers high mechanical strength, making it ideal for the demanding environment of a high-speed train.

A standout feature of this hardware concept is the tactile red/green display, developed according to Deutsche Bahn’s accessibility requirements. This tactile display allows passengers, especially those with limited vision, to clearly and reliably recognize the status of the doors (open or closed). The haptic feedback significantly simplifies the operability of the system and ensures safe use, even with limited visibility.

The precise coordination of the hardware concept for both doors – the entrance door to the sanitary module and the crew cabin door – ensures seamless integration into the overall design of the high-speed train. This solution not only enhances safety but also contributes to improved functionality and ergonomics, ensuring accessibility and user-friendliness for all passengers.
