Automated Escalator

Not only is this pretty cool, it's also quite a "green" idea.

This was found in Nagoya, Japan. At a subway station leading to the grounds near the Nagoya harbourfront.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Updated the video description on the right hand side. Hopefully that helps.

Good question! Throughout my trip, I was taping all sorts of things I thought were cool (the automated toilet seat in my vid collection was another example). This was yet another.

So what's so special about these? They are standard in germany for escalators that don't need to run all the time. There's a preasure plate on the floor before the escalator that starts it. It even counts how many people are using it at a time so it shuts down soon after the last one left. They can even go in the other direction after they stopped
