Universal accessibility in public transport is key to ensuring the social inclusion of all people, regardless of their physical or sensory abilities. Masats’ mission is to improve people’s quality of life through innovative solutions that facilitate efficient and safe mobility for all. This approach not only has a direct impact on the daily lives of thousands of users, but also contributes to the development of more inclusive and sustainable cities, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The company’s systems, such as rapid passenger doors and automatic ramps, are essential to improve urban mobility and promote more equitable and efficient transport. In addition, these systems are designed with a focus on sustainability, using durable, energy-efficient materials that minimise environmental impact.

Masats new developments: wider ramps and passenger information systems PIS-L

One of the pillars of Masats’ solutions is the improvement of mobility through wider automatic ramps that allow a smoother and more comfortable passage for all passengers, including those using wheelchairs. This design facilitates a continuous flow of passengers, reducing waiting times and improving the overall transport experience.

In addition, lighting systems are crucial to ensure the safety of all passengers. As a global accessibility provider, Masats has incorporated this system into both doors and ramps. Both products are co-ordinated, providing information on the status of both the ramp and the door.

Predictive maintenance and availability

Technological innovation also plays a key role in the reliability of Masats’ systems. The predictive maintenance systems they are developing allow the supplier to anticipate potential failures before they occur, thus ensuring maximum availability and efficiency of public transport vehicles. They also help Masats in the follow-up of existing products and give information for new products. This predictive approach not only reduces operating costs, but also minimises service disruptions, ensuring that passengers can fully rely on public transport.

Safety systems integrated in the doors and ramps are also an additional guarantee. Using advanced sensors, Masats prevent accidents and ensure safe access for all users, meeting the highest quality standards and international regulations.

Masats: what’s coming now?

In Masats current lines of development, the supplier seeks maximum inclusivity, also incorporating acoustic signalling systems for the visually impaired, in order to improve their experience in public transport environments. In addition, the company continue to focus on sustainability, seeking weight reduction and more energy efficient solutions that further reduce the environmental impact of technologies.

Sliding and inswinging doors developed by the Spanish company are a key element in the optimisation of public transport. Thanks to their reliability and speed of opening and closing, these doors significantly improve passenger flow, reducing waiting times and enabling more efficient boarding and alighting. This design not only maximises vehicle capacity, but also contributes to a more punctual and comfortable service. In addition, Masats sliding and inswinging doors are equipped with advanced safety systems, ensuring safe and reliable use, even in high demand conditions.

Masats is leading the development of technological solutions that not only improve people’s quality of life, but also contribute to the creation of more inclusive, sustainable and safe cities.
