據(jù)9月28日印度時(shí)報(bào)報(bào)道，印度欽奈的地鐵系統(tǒng)正在為其長45公里的地鐵線上的32個(gè)車站安裝用于電梯的腳踏板控制裝置。此外，另一個(gè)長達(dá)9公里地鐵擴(kuò)建工程（一期）上的9個(gè)車站也將安裝腳踏式電梯。該擴(kuò)建工程將延伸到欽奈北部的地區(qū)，預(yù)計(jì)2020年底開放。這次的電梯腳踏板控制裝置的安裝項(xiàng)目在20個(gè)車站啟動(dòng)，其中包括最繁忙的阿蘭杜爾站、中央站和機(jī)場站。剩下的12個(gè)站的安裝項(xiàng)目預(yù)計(jì)在本周末結(jié)束。這項(xiàng)裝置使乘客可以通過用腳點(diǎn)擊電梯地板上的按鈕來呼叫電梯，而無需觸碰可能帶著細(xì)菌的按鈕。

CHENNAI, INDIA, METRO INSTALLS FOOT ConTROLS FOR LIFTS

The metro rail system in Chennai, India, is installing foot-operated controls for elevators at the 32 stations of the 45-km line, the Times of India reported on September 28. In addition, foot-operated elevators are being installed at the nine stations of the metro's 9-km Phase 1 expansion, which will link part of North Chennai to the system and is scheduled to open by the end of 2020. The project was initiated at 20 stations, including the busiest, Alandur, Central and Airport. The remaining 12 were expected to be finished by the end of this week. The new mechanisms allow commuters using elevators to tap a button on the floor of the lift with their feet, rather than touch a button that could harbor pathogens.
