Platform screen doors (PSDs) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_screen_doors) are series of ceiling-height glass doors on the edges of rail platforms, usually in underground stations, which open and close with the doors of the train carriages. They separate the platform edge from the track and usually the tunnel, usually to prevent passengers from falling in and to lower ventilation costs.
Automatic platform gates (APGs, also known as "half-height platform screen doors") (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_platform_gates) are similar, the only differences being that they are usually shorter (about 1–2 metres / 4–7 feet tall) and are usually installed in above-ground stations. Both of these are common in metro systems in East Asia and parts of Europe, but are generally absent from most other places due to the age of infrastructure.
