The Planning of an Intra-Airport Automated People Mover for San Jose International Airport
Publication: The 2020 Vision of Air Transportation: Emerging Issues and Innovative Solutions
Abstract
San Jose International Airport (SJIA) is in the process of implementing a $1 billion Master Plan Development Program. One of the key components of the Master Plan is an Automated People Mover (APM), which will link several key activity centers at the Airport. The use of an APM will provide a high level of service to passengers and employees and enhance landside operational efficiency. The APM system is one of many elements of the Master Plan that have to be balanced in terms of level of service and capacity. This paper provides insights into the key planning considerations associated with the development of the APM at SJIA. Of particular interest is the development of an APM at a mid-sized airport (15–20 Millions of Annual Passengers [MAP]). Typically larger airport's e.g., Chicago, Newark, San Francisco (25 –50 MAP) have implemented landside APMs to increase their landside capacity and level of service. The specific needs and requirements of SJIA will be explored, and the applicability of these needs and requirements to other mid-sized airports will be discussed.
