Abstract:

This report provides a Guidebook for planning and implementing passenger conveyance systems at airports based on actual case study analysis of how these components function in real-time situations. It describes best practices and specific design considerations and presents decision-making frameworks for implementing passenger conveyance systems. Passenger conveyance components include escalators, elevators, moving walkways, and passenger assist vehicles/carts. Automated People Mover systems (the subject of ACRP Reports 37 and 37A), personal rapid transit systems, and shuttle bus systems are not covered in the Guidebook. In addition to the Guidebook, this report includes a comprehensive database along with a Decision-Support Tool for planning, designing, and evaluating passenger conveyance systems at airports as a function of specific airport design and operating parameters. This database, which is available on the accompanying CD-ROM (CRP-CD-110), allows project planners to examine how passenger conveyance components operate as a system throughout different areas within the airport environment. The Guidebook is directed primarily at airport planners, passenger terminal planners, and architects. Along with the accompanying data, it provides estimates of actual throughputs and capacities based on what is actually being achieved in airport operations.
