The Smart Door Guard for Your Train

With the BMU-3, BODE takes door monitoring in rail transport to a new level. The sensor-based solution combines gap monitoring, platform detection, and door monitoring in a single system. Complemented by features such as passenger counting and contactless object and person detection, it ensures greater safety, smooth operation, and high availability—both in new vehicles and in retrofit applications.

The BMU-3 acts as an interface between the vehicle and the passenger. It replaces various conventional sensors and safety devices with a high-performance sensor unit, thereby reducing the number of electrical interfaces in the door system. This simplifies integration, facilitates maintenance and service work, and lays the foundation for reliable and future-oriented door management.

Another advantage is flexibility of use: The BMU-3 is suitable for both new vehicle platforms and the modernization of existing vehicles. Thanks to its modular design, the system can be adapted to different requirements and flexibly integrated into various door systems. As a result, vehicle manufacturers and operators alike benefit from a solution that is suitable for a wide range of applications.

The sensor system reliably detects people and objects in the door area and supports door control during passenger boarding and alighting. At the same time, precise detection of the platform edge and the door area helps optimize operational processes. Combining various functions into a single system reduces technical complexity and offers an efficient solution for modern rail vehicles.

With its well-thought-out design, the BMU-3 offers a versatile solution for a wide range of requirements in rail transport. Thanks to its flexible integration, this sensor solution enables reliable door monitoring and contributes to safe and efficient operation during daily vehicle use.

In our product video, you’ll get an insight into the key features of the BMU-3 and learn how the innovative sensor technology makes passenger boarding and alighting smarter, safer, and more efficient. Discover how the BMU-3 combines various sensor functions into a single system, thereby supporting modern door systems in rail transport.
