  • Adapting Automated People Mover Capacity on Airports to Real-Time Demand Via Model-Based Predictive Control
    Adapting Automated People Mover Capacity on Airports to Real-Time Demand via Model-Based Predictive Control M.P. van Doorne1, G. Lodewijks2, W.W.A. Beelaerts van Blokland3 1 Airbiz Aviation Strategies Ltd., 92 Albert Embankment, SE1 7TY, London, United Kingdom 2 University of New South Wales, School of Aviation, NSW 2052, Sydney, Australia 3Delft University of Technology, Mekelweg 2, 2628 CD, Delft, The Netherlands Abstract The Automated People Mover (APM) is an important asset for many airports to transport passengers inside or between terminal and satellite buildings An APM system normally runs on fixed schedules throughout the day, which means that the capacity of the APM is pre-determined and not depending on the actual demand. This at times can cause either an overcapacity, which leads to a waste of resources, or an under capacity, which results in passengers waiting at the station. Especially the latter factor is problematic, as it reduced passenger experience and can negatively affect the transfer process between airport facilities. In order to better match the offered APM capacity with the demand, it is proposed in this paper to use sensor-based predictive control system, which adapts the APM system capacity to real-time demand. By means of sensor data, passenger numbers are determined before they walk onto the stations platforms, and subsequently the APM system capacity is adjusted to the measured demand. In principle there are two methods to change the APM system capacity, i.e.: 1) by changing the APM capacity (i.e. more cars per train) or 2) by changing the frequency.

    PRESS RELEASE Bombardier Premieres Game Changing E-Mobility Solutions at the UITP World Congress in Geneva Much lighter and faster-charging PRIMOVE battery and innovative propulsion systems for electric buses introduced to the global market Bombardier showcases current global projects including high-capacity INNOVIA Monorail 300 system for São Paulo, new driverless MOVIA metros for Singapore and CITYFLO 650 CBTC solution for London Underground’s largest ever signalling upgrade World-leading Swiss public transport operators select Bombardier for next generation product development Geneva, May 27, 2013 – Rail technology leader Bombardier Transportation today launched its entry into a new market segment by demonstrating its groundbreaking BOMBARDIER PRIMOVE e-mobility solution developed for the bus sector. The PRIMOVE system of wireless e-mobility has already been successfully proven in tram operations. Bombardier has further developed this technology to deliver the same benefits to the electric bus sector, with passengers in Europe potentially enjoying emission-free bus journeys from as early as 2014. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience for themselves a smooth, noise free ride on an e-bus equipped with the PRIMOVE propulsion and controls system at UITP, Geneva. The new expanded portfolio of PRIMOVE technology now includes ultra-light PRIMOVE batteries and the PRIMOVE propulsion and control system that optimises energy efficiency for road vehicles. The market for e-buses is set to grow substantially in the next 10 years and Bombardier technology is set to be a driver of this growth. Under the theme “Stepping into the Future”, in addition to PRIMOVE, Bombardier is demonstrating its continued technological leadership in the mass transit sector.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE Bombardier celebrates 25th anniversary of Germany’s first automatic people mover system • INNOVIA APM vehicles carry twelve million passengers annually at Frankfurt am Main Airport – with almost 100 percent reliability • The system’s 25-year anniversary corresponds with Fraport’s opening of Terminal 2 Berlin, October 24, 2019 – Today, global mobility solution provider Bombardier Transportation celebrates 25 years of fully automatic BOMBARDIER INNOVIA APM 100 people mover system’s operation at Frankfurt am Main Airport. The system and Fraport’s Terminal 2 opened on the same day 25 years ago. Since 1994, Germany’s first elevated passenger transport system called the SkyLine, has connected Terminals 1 and 2. With an average reliability of 99.83 percent, twelve million passengers and guests per year safely and comfortably arrive at their destinations in the terminals – around the clock. “We’d like to congratulate our customer on this quarter century anniversary. We have a very successful and long-standing partnership with Fraport, which marks our joint success in moving millions of travelers between terminals at the Frankfurt Airport,” said Michael Fohrer, Head of Bombardier Transportation Germany. “Fraport benefits from a high-performing turnkey transit system, which was not only manufactured by Bombardier, but also operated and maintained. I am grateful to all our committed and competent employees, without them this milestone would not have been possible,” emphasized Alexander Ketterl, Head of Sales and Delivery German cities at Bombardier Transportation. Volker Maul, Head of the Bombardier team at Frankfurt Airport, can look back on the people mover system's 25 years of service.
