These pictures show 2 sets of 1.5M platform screen doors(PSDs) at Pasir Ris MRT station.Right now there would be 44 or 48 PSDs installed at Pasir Ris MRT station as testing of the PSDs will start next month.These PSDs will serve as a protective barrier for the commuters as there have a lot of deaths in the MRT system since its interception in 1987.The PSDs will not open unless a train is present.Signalling systems will synchronise the PSDs with the train doors and sensors will detect objects caught in between.Trains will not be able to depart if the PSDs are still open.Installation of PSDs will take place in Pasir Ris(almost complete),Yishun and Jurong East MRT stations.Installation of PSDs at the remaining 33 elevated MRT stations will start in 2010 and it is planned that the installation process will be completed in 2012.
