Abstract
A passenger conveyor comprising an endless conveyor track, a power source configured to supply power to said endless conveyor track, an entrance allowing a passage to the conveyor track, an exit allowing a passage away from the conveyor track, and a balustrade beside the conveyor track. Guide elements are positioned at the entrance/exit on a floor at proximity of an end of the balustrade. The guide elements are laterally elongated, and are configured to guide rolling or moving objects to/from the conveyor without contacting or being obstructed by the balustrade. The guide elements include a source of electromagnetic waves which radiate the electromagnetic waves to an entrance/exit zone of the passenger conveyor.
