AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER TECHNOLOGY SELECTION: A SPECTRUM OF CHOICES
In the nineteen eighties, Automated People Mover (APM) suppliers concentrated on designing, developing, and marketing unique technologies. Each supplier tended to specialize in a single technology, with some variations in size and capacity. With the present growth of the APM market, several APM suppliers have developed either through mergers or acquisition, a more diversified range of technologies to meet a variety of system requirements in terms of capacity, service and budget considerations. As a result of this trend, the transit industry now has a full range of technologies that are well proven and capable of meeting the different needs, special operational requirements, and budgets of its potential clients.
