In today's fast-paced life, moving walkways, as a modern transportation facility, have been widely used in places with concentrated traffic, such as stations, docks, shopping malls, airports, exhibition halls and stadiums. It is like a silent "porter", silently providing great convenience for people's travel and the transportation of goods.
In terms of structure, moving walkways are similar to escalators. They are mainly composed of two parts: a moving pavement and a handrail. The moving pavement does not form a step shape when tilted, allowing pedestrians and objects to pass smoothly.
In terms of application scenarios, shopping malls are common places for moving walkways. When people are tired of shopping in shopping malls, it can take people to shuttle easily between different floors, and the design is beautiful, integrated with the overall style of the shopping mall, and extend the average shopping time of customers. In airports, moving walkways are a guarantee of fast passage, helping passengers carrying luggage save time and energy. In transportation hubs such as railway stations and subway stations, it can work continuously and carry a large number of passengers, effectively alleviating the pressure of people flow and avoiding crowding and trampling.
However, there are also some safety hazards when using moving walkways. For example, it is not recommended to wear Crocs to prevent being caught in the gap; it is best not to play with your phone while riding to avoid distraction; it is recommended to use a vertical elevator when carrying large luggage. In addition, the safety height above should be no less than 2.3 meters, and there should be a vertical clear height of no less than 2.3 meters above the pedal or tape.
To ensure safety, people need to abide by relevant rules. Stand firmly in the safe area of the steps, hold the handrails tightly with both hands, stand upright, do not play or go against the flow, and look at the exit in advance when leaving.
