  • sliding doors are used in various different fields.
  • a sliding door is usually mounted on, or suspended from, a track and is opened by sliding the door in a direction parallel to a plane in which the door lies.
  • Sliding doors are often used where it is necessary or desirable for the door to be opened automatically as opposed to being opened by a human. This is because due to the linear motion of a sliding door it is often easier to automate a sliding door than a hinged door.
  • Some examples of sliding doors include elevator doors, doors that open in response to the detection of the presence of a user, and train doors.

For example, if an automatically driven sliding train door fails then the passengers cannot use that particular door. This may result in passenger congestion. It is therefore desirable to be forewarned that an automated sliding door is likely to fail so that repair can be made before failure.
