Abstract
Increasingly, large-hub airports in the United States (U.S.) are developing rental car facilities remote from their terminals in a facility that consolidates the operation of all rental car companies. In many U.S. large-hub airports, the percentage of passengers using rental cars is a significant percentage of overall traffic. At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), almost 20% of all passengers use rental cars, creating a need for a transportation system that can move large volumes of people and baggage in peak periods with reliable frequencies and both reliable and minimal transit times. This paper is a case study for a landside automated people-mover (APM) system at SEA. It explores issues related to the feasibility of installing an APM system at SEA between the main terminal and a future consolidated rental car facility remote from the terminal. It analyzes the trade-offs between busing and different APM systems.
