An escalator system is provided and includes a balustrade including a skirt with a brush, a moving step, which is drivable to move in a conveyance direction along the balustrade to form a step-skirt interface between ends of the brush of the skirt and a corresponding side of the moving step, and an entrapment monitoring and detection system. The entrapment monitoring and detection system includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor is disposed at the step-skirt interface and is configured to sense an object being present at the step-skirt interface. The processor is configured to determine whether the sensor senses the object being present at the step-skirt interface for a predetermined time.
