Length doesn't matter. Stability is!
When it comes to Parliament Station and Melbourne Central, everyone in Melbourne must be familiar.
The Metro Trains recently investigated both escalators. The results were astonishing: on average, there were three accidents a week at the Parliament Sation escalator.
Now that, Metro Trains is embarrassed by the data, they didn't expect commuters to face such a big security threat at this station.
They found that the main cause of the accident was the underground passage escalator in Parliament Station, with design defects.
The little twinkle of light looked at the picture and fainted on the chai
Over the past decade, more than 600 people have been hit by escalators, most of them in the Parliment Station aisle, according to the data.
RMIT's investigation into the station's accident surveillance video revealed that:
44% of people in the elevator, the center of gravity is unstable, fall backward.
22% of people in the downlink, the center of gravity is unstable, fall forward.
Twenty-eight percent of people fell in the middle of the elevator, even though they were on their feet.
From this data, it is clear that the, Parliament Station channel has a design flaw.
Lighting, color, layout may be the main reason.
As the longest escalator in the Southern Hemisphere, when people go up or down, because the surrounding walls are retreating, it is easy to create visual illusions and accidents occur as soon as the wrong steps are adjusted.
Metro Train said it would upgrade the underground passage of Parliament Station to reduce the incidence of accidents.
But Xiaowei wanted to say: everyone knows the efficiency of Datuao, don't expect them to build a new elevator in a few days.
According to official figures, 22% of accidents occur when multiple people travel together.
So in the elevator, be sure to raise your attention, watch the steps under your feet, and don't talk and laugh.
Passengers with children, be careful not to let the child fight in the elevator, in case of an accident.
