panel above/beside the door
Explanation:
You haven't given any context, but in the first of my references it appears to mean a panel beside the door of a train where the emergency alarm is located.
In the second, it's a panel above the door containing an air vent or used to display a route map (wait for the pictures to scroll through and you'll see what I mean).

agree  Bernd Runge: Above, since they are installed overhead the passengers. Maybe the 'curvature aspect' needs to be considered in some way.

door reveal


Explanation:
I'm pretty sure that "Türvoute" is identical with "Türlaibung". And the translation for that is door reveal to my knowledge.

Reference: Voute

Reference information:
Verkehrswesen [Bearbeiten]

Eine Voute in Fahrzeugen zur Personenbeförderung wie Omnibussen und Schienenfahrzeugen ist die Verbindung der Seitenwände mit dem Fahrzeugdach. Diese üblicherweise separate Baugruppe ist insbesondere aus optischen Gründen von der Fahrzeugaußenseite her mitbestimmend für das Design des Fahrzeugs und dient funktionell der Abdichtung gegen Wasser und Luft. Die Innenseite dient ganz anderen funktionellen Aufgaben, z.B. Beleuchtung, Belüftung, Gepäckablage oder Zugangsöffnung. Zwischen der Außen- und Innenseite ist oft Fahrzeugtechnik installiert, z.B. Druckluftbehälter, Schalttechnik, Leitungen für Druckluft, Wasser und Strom.
