This article analyses the reliability of semi-automatic train door systems that are in use on today’srolling stock of the SNCB. For the analysis several databases of the SNCB concerning both operation andmaintenance were thoroughly screened. These databases are briefly explained and scaling factors areapplied to compare the performance of different series of rolling stock relative to each other. Conclusionsare made out of the available data.
