Hola. Me dieron esta explicación, sobre lo que sucede en un tren, pero no sé si existen los términos en español o si simplemente lo explico con mis palabras:
Overshoot and Undershoot happen when the train does not stop precisely where it’s supposed to stop at the platform, so that train doors are no longer aligned with platform doors.
- Overshoot is when the train goes too far. It will attempt to go back once (if within a certain limit), otherwise it will be a missed stop and the train will move on.
- Undershoot is when the train stops too early. It will move forward very slowly until train doors will be aligned with platform doors and passengers could safely get in/out. If it goes too far, it will be a missed stop and the train will move on.

Note from asker:
| Sobrepasar me suena muy bien para overshoot, ahora hay que buscar el opuesto para la otra palabra. Gracias. |

estar alineadas/ coinciden
Lo explicaría con tus palabras poque la expresión no existe en español (que yo sepa). Se refiere a un tipo de plataforma donde hay una barrera entre la plataforma y las vías y cada tanto, coincidente con las puertas del tren, puertas en esas barreras. Entonces podrías decir que las puertas no están perfectamente alineadas con las de la plataforma, o que no coinciden. Iría por ahí.
