IMPLICATIONS OF AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVERS FOR AIRPORT TERMINAL CONFIGURATIONS

The innovative automated people mover (APM) system meets the challenge of moving people on the ground in large airports. With APM, new airport terminal configurations and existing terminal modifications are occurring all over the country. This article discusses the impact of this unique system on terminal configurations at major airports. The APM system is described, as well as terminal configurations before and after APM. Changes in travel patterns are described. Configurations with APM include remote satellites, remote piers, and decentralized unit terminals. The article points out aspects that must be considered in airport design assessments.
