Larco manufactures presence-sensing mat systems used in pedestrian control, ticketing, pedestrian safety, and equipment status. Larco engineers these mat systems to customer specifications, fitting the exact shape and style for area allocated. 

Examples include:

• Passenger control including ticketing and flow diversion
• Hazard avoidance on platforms and tramways
• Operator or driver notification of passengers in limited or restricted access areas
• Data collection (passenger counting) input to central monitoring system used in matching peak passenger usage and vehicle allocations to optimize traffic flow for ground transportation systems (bus, train, and subway).

Adding a Larco transport mat system to the vehicles operating control circuitry adds a new list of enhancements to the vehicles capability. Larco mat systems can be used to provide signals to the control systems, which will:

• Prevent the operator or driver from engaging the vehicle drive system when passengers may be in hazardous areas out of the operator or driver view.
• Lock the breaking system any time a passenger violates a monitored area such as a exit doors or upper decks and restricted use areas.
• Act as a limit switch preventing the wheel chair lift from over driving the hydraulic system
• Notify the driver when the wheel chair lift is occupied, ready for retrieval, is vacant, or fully stowed for travel.

The unique ability of Larco's mat systems to withstand heavy traffic under the most adverse environmental conditions makes it the perfect choice.
