Designing Platforms for Four-Door Commuter Cars

The Sotetsu 11000 series is modeled after real Japanese commuter trains and features four pairs of sliding doors on every side of each car. Designing your station platforms around this door layout improves the visual flow and realism of your transit stops.

Measuring Door Spacing

1. Spawn or stop a Sotetsu 11000 series train along your station platform to inspect the door positions.

2. Note the locations of all four sliding door pairs along the side of each train car.

3. Mark the platform blocks directly adjacent to each door pair to define the passenger loading zones.

Aligning Platform Layouts

1. Construct platform waiting lines, platform screen barriers, or decorative floor markings directly in front of each of the four door pairs.

2. Ensure the platform remains level with the car floor so passengers can step directly through the open sliding doors.

3. Clear any light fixtures, structural pillars, or benches away from the door thresholds to give passenger boarding paths an unobstructed clearance when the doors slide open.
