Abstract

In recent years, China’s air passenger throughput has grown rapidly; some new airports being built or planned for expansion are designed with more and larger terminals and facilities that may be spread over large areas. Accompanied with the increasing scale and complexity of airports, the automated people mover (APM) systems are in high demand which provide safe, reliable and efficient passenger transport services on relatively closed, independent lines. Based on the brief description of current situation of APM systems, this paper takes Beijing Capital International Airport as an example to analyze the passenger flow. Subsequently, we propose the organization methods of passengers and the operation planning for APM systems in terms of influence factors so as to ensure the efficiency of APM systems at airports. Finally, the adjustment methods of operation planning are addressed considering the fluctuation of daily passenger flow in the actual operation.
