A handrail safety control device for a transportation system having a handrail, the handrail comprising a body and a handrail belt, the handrail belt being driven under power to move relative to the body and forming an engaged state or a disengaged state with the body, the handrail safety control device comprising: a contact portion disposed in a preset section of the handrail, the contact portion being in a first state or a second state respectively when the handrail belt in the preset section is in the engaged state or the disengaged state, wherein in the first state, the contact portion is in contact with the handrail belt, and in the second state, the contact portion is at least partially out of contact with the handrail belt; and a signal generation portion configured to generate a response signal in response to a switching of the contact portion between the first state and the second state, wherein the response signal comprises a first response signal and/or a second response signal, the first response signal is generated by the signal generation portion when the contact portion is switched from the first state to the second state, and the second response signal is generated by the signal generation portion when the contact portion is switched from the second state to the first state; characterized in that the contact portion comprises: a base configured to be installed in a cavity between the handrail belt and the body; a shaft installed on the base; a pivoting member pivotally installed on the base around the shaft, and having a first end facing an inner side of the handrail belt and a second end facing the signal generation portion; and a counterweight installed between the second end and the shaft, and configured to cause the first end to be in contact with or at least partially out of contact with the inner side respectively when in the first state or the second state, and to cause the signal generation portion to generate the first response signal and/or the second response signal through a corresponding position change of the second end relative to the signal generation portion. a contact portion disposed in a preset section of the handrail, the contact portion being in a first state or a second state respectively when the handrail belt in the preset section is in the engaged state or the disengaged state, wherein in the first state, the contact portion is in contact with the handrail belt, and in the second state, the contact portion is at least partially out of contact with the handrail belt; and a signal generation portion configured to generate a response signal in response to a switching of the contact portion between the first state and the second state, wherein the response signal comprises a first response signal and/or a second response signal, the first response signal is generated by the signal generation portion when the contact portion is switched from the first state to the second state, and the second response signal is generated by the signal generation portion when the contact portion is switched from the second state to the first state; characterized in that the contact portion comprises: a base configured to be installed in a cavity between the handrail belt and the body; a shaft installed on the base; a pivoting member pivotally installed on the base around the shaft, and having a first end facing an inner side of the handrail belt and a second end facing the signal generation portion; and a counterweight installed between the second end and the shaft, and configured to cause the first end to be in contact with or at least partially out of contact with the inner side respectively when in the first state or the second state, and to cause the signal generation portion to generate the first response signal and/or the second response signal through a corresponding position change of the second end relative to the signal generation portion. a base configured to be installed in a cavity between the handrail belt and the body; a shaft installed on the base; a pivoting member pivotally installed on the base around the shaft, and having a first end facing an inner side of the handrail belt and a second end facing the signal generation portion; and a counterweight installed between the second end and the shaft, and configured to cause the first end to be in contact with or at least partially out of contact with the inner side respectively when in the first state or the second state, and to cause the signal generation portion to generate the first response signal and/or the second response signal through a corresponding position change of the second end relative to the signal generation portion.
