Mandalay Bay People Mover: Safe Operations for 10+ Years

The Mandalay Bay Automated People Mover system is a fully automated elevated transit system designed to provide transportation along a dual lane, elevated guideway structure. The system operates between the intersection of Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevards and the Mandalay Bay Hotel/Casino. Having been initially commissioned for passenger service on April 2, 1999, the system has entered its second decade of operational life. Since 1999, JAI has been extensively involved with the safety monitoring, evaluation, inspection and audit of this system. Due to the outstanding efforts, consistent approach and effective management by the operation and maintenance team, JAI is pleased to report that the system continues to operate within functional compliance with the original OEM requirements and parameters. This paper discusses various activities as experienced through our safety inspection activities over the last decade. Also included is a discussion of O&M ‘lessons learned’ for this and other similar APM systems as witnessed by JAI through its activities over the years.
