据印度新闻报道，由于巴里瓦利火车站的扶梯在高峰时期发生骤停而引起乘客投诉，印度铁路系统近期使用软件对孟买近郊，如瓦赛火车站的扶梯进行检测，以此确定扶梯骤停是否由非授权人士有意操作所致。当局猜测有人违规按下扶梯的“停止”键所致，而“停止”键是只有在紧急情况、维修等关键时刻才使用的。铁路系统所使用的软件专门用于检测扶梯“停止”键使用的时间和地点。

　　INDIA WR TACKLES ESCALATOR TAMPERING USING SOFTWARE

　　India’s Western Railway (WR) is testing software at Vasai Station in suburban Mumbai designed to detect if an escalator has been shut down intentionally by unauthorized individuals, Hindi News reports. The move comes after complaints about escalators being shut down during peak hours at Borivali Station. Authorities suspect people are pressing escalators’ “stop” buttons, which should only be used during emergencies or maintenance, at critical times. The software will be designed to detect when and where button tampering occurs.
