URBAN TRANSPORTATION

APM’s or Automatic People Movers are ground systems that operate by way of cable propulsion. A steel wire haul rope pulls the cabins from below from a starting station to an ending station. Although many aerial ropeway systems exist for public transport requirements, APM’s are the system of choice in areas such as airports, city centers, amusement parks, inter-modal connections, feeder systems, resort areas, campuses and resorts. They are able to move a large concentration of people in a rapid and efficient manner. These types of systems offer many advantages which include minimal moving parts allowing for fewer defects, rapid installation, modern and attractive aesthetics, and environmentally friendly.
