The Platform Screen Doors for the Dubai Metro are currently being manufactured in the UK by Westinghouse. There will be 28 PSDs on each station.

The PSD is equipped with an intelligent control system to prevent any unsafe operations and is equipped with a sophisticated system to detect any obstruction and ensure safe reaction.

The PSDs create a full height barrier between the station floor and the ceiling of the platform when closed, thereby improving passenger safety, enabling efficient climatic control of a platform environment, suppressing a high level of train noise, creating a cleaner platform environment, and improving passenger boarding/disembarking flow.
