Contrary to ordinary escalators, this system constantly observes the balancing conditions of escalator users. When an accident such as imbalance, sticking up or falling happens while using the escalators, the system immediately stops the escalator. An emergency stop command is issued to the escalator immediately after an accident to stop it; therefore allowing the person who had the accident to easily recover his/her lost balance or rid his stuck clothing of the escalator. A speed detection of the incident on the escalator is imperative to prevent accidents.
