Analisa Kelayakan Finansial Proyek Automated People Mover System Bandar Udara Internasional Soekarno-Hatta

The growth in the number of passengers continues to increase every year, so increasing capacity is a challenge for airport operators, including by increasing the number of sub-terminals, namely: terminal 1, terminal 2 and terminal 3. being a passenger is a new problem that must be solved because the lockdown creates the potential for traffic jams and causes passengers to be late. To overcome these problems, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport has made modifications to carry out infrastructure development that can provide an integrated, dedicated transportation service system so that priority passenger mobility can be served properly. The operation of flying boats is a service system supporting intermodal and inter-sub-terminal connectivity, the cost of organizing flying boats requires quite large costs, namely investment costs and operational costs. / Passenger Service Fee (PSC), since the corona virus disease (covid 19) pandemic, this income has been decreasing. The research aims to financial analysis of the Automated People Mover System Project and perform calculations such as the Internal Return Rate, Net Present Value, Return On Investment, and Pay Back Period. The research results are declared not feasible because they are not providing benefit.

Grey-Box Modelling and Validation of APMS (Automated People Mover System) Train

A grey-box model of an automated people mover system (APMS) is constructed in this paper. APMS is one of the urban transit constructions that is being constructed in Indonesia and used for connecting between terminals in the airport. The APMS model can be identified to obtain the mathematical representation of the full system by finding unknown parameters through the data measured from the installed system at the airport. Generalized reduced gradient (GRG) algorithm is operated to identify the model parameters. The model can then be used for verification and testing controller designs such as proportional-integralderivative (PID) or model predictive control (MPC), and energy-saving strategies. The obtained model is able to follow the dynamic of the real APMS with RMSE value 0.013.

Design of Sustainable Construction Through Value Engineering of an Automated People Mover System Project

Sustainability infrastructure has become a crucial issue among decision-makers, developers, contractors, and consultants around the world. Value Engineering (VE) program is a method for improving project sustainability. This method present whether a decision increased or worsens the project’s performance. The purpose of this study to create and evaluate alternative ideas for expanding the project value. This study proposes VE analysis at the design level to achieve optimal project costs and duration. The case study is carried out on the Automated People Mover System (APMS) project. APMS project, at Soekarno Hatta International Airport, is the first Sky train in Indonesia. The length of the APMS track is 3.05 kilometres. APMS tracks are using for a simple pan bridge structure. On the APMS project, the initial design of the girder used the PC-U type with rarely-used dimensions. By using the VE program, stakeholders decided to replace PC-U type with the PC-V type, which has standard dimensions in PT. WIKA BETON as a supplier. The use of a PC-V type girder gains the benefit of efficiency in terms of time and cost. The percentage of production and erection time of the PC-V girder is 97% faster. Besides, the percentage of cost-saving is 9% of the total project cost.

Evaluating and mitigating risk of an automated people mover system project: a case study

Risks describe as the situation of uncertainty. Risks will appear on every construction project, including an Automated People Mover System (APMS) project. The length of APMS track is 3.05 kilometres to connect Soekarno-Hatta Airport terminals 1, 2 and 3. Track APMS is a bridge structure with a simple concept span. Girder was designed with the PC-V concept. More complex project causes various risks. Therefore, to deliver complex projects to success, the risks should be managed. It is important to handle the risk by applying risk management. Risk management has 3 stages: risk identification, risk analysis and risk response strategy. This research was organized through questionnaire and interview with contractor in APMS project. Risk identification using Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) method. Then the result of risk identification will analyze using probability and impact matrix. The matrix were aimed to earn the risk category and classified into 3 groups i.e. high, moderate, and low. Risk response strategy is to minimize the impact of risk occurence. This research identified 25 risk factors that consist of 7 category: design risks, time risks, material and equipment risks, financial risks, resources risks, managerial risks and external risks. Delay in relocating existing facilities and girder damage risks are the higest risk, both risk should be avoidance. This study purposed to identification and mitigate risks. These findings were valuable for contractor to mitigate risks especially with the same project characteristics.

Vibration analysis and building vibration isolation design for an automated people mover system in airport terminal structures

Detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models were developed for a proposed airport terminal expansion project. An Automated People Mover (APM) system is incorporated into the airport structures for shuttling passengers quickly between terminals. The dynamic forces imparted onto the structures by the moving APM vehicles and the analysis approach were based upon established techniques developed for addressing ground-borne and structure-borne vibrations from rail systems. Measurements were conducted at two other major airports with existing rubber tire APM systems on aerial structures. These measurements provided baseline vibration levels for the analysis as well as the forces imparted to the structure by the APM vehicles. The results of the analyses were utilized in the design of a vibration isolation system included in the structural design of a guideway within a terminal building in order to mitigate structure-borne vibration from APM operations.

Capital Costs and Ridership Estimates of Personal Rapid Transit

Preparing capital cost estimates for new transit technologies requires refining and refitting traditional estimation tools. The personal rapid transit (PRT) system project in Rosemont, Illinois—a suburb of Chicago near O’Hare International Airport—required (1) the development of estimates of PRT capital costs, (2) establishment of a reasonable cost range for the PRT system, and (3) an order-of-magnitude evaluation of existing cost projections. A method was developed to compare PRT system components (versus the entire system) with the components of existing automated-guideway transit (AGT) and automated people mover (APM) systems in North America. Seven components of the PRT, AGT and APM systems were examined—(1) guideways; (2) stations; (3) maintenance and control facilities; (4) power and utility systems; (5) vehicles; (6) command, control, and communications systems; and (7) engineering and project management. Three analysis techniques were used—(1) statistically significant regression analysis; (2) measurement of a central tendency for “comparable” systems; and (3) statistics from all AGT systems. The results show that the combination of the three techniques worked well for component-level studies and show promise for use in other cost analyses involving new technologies or application of existing technologies on a scale outside the bounds of previous experience. In addition to the cost study, a PRT ridership forecasting approach and projections were evaluated, providing another key element of decision support for potential PRT deployment in Rosemont.

Airport Automated People Mover Systems: Analysis with a Hybrid Computer Simulation Model

Automated people movers (APMs) have become an attractive solution to mobility problems associated with large airport terminals. A hybrid computer simulation model (called APMSIM) that has been developed to simplify the operational analysis of airport APM systems is presented. Given an airport passenger demand function, along with various APM vehicle technology and airport terminal characteristics, the model estimates timevarying level-of-service characteristics of the terminal including queues and processing times. The model simulates the movement of individual passengers and APM vehicles in the system network. APMSIM constitutes a design tool for airport planners and designers for determination of the sensitivity of system performance for a range of APM design parameters, examination of the flexibility of an APM system under given operational policy and network configurations, and estimation of APM vehicle energy consumption on the basis of network constraints and system characteristics. The model is a hybrid discrete-event and continuous simulation model developed in EXTEND, a general-purpose simulation software.

Analysis of vehicle behavior at a merging section of APM system with different strategies

This paper considers the merging section of an APM (automated people mover), which is an approach to the new traffic system. The behavior of the vehicles at the merging section is modeled, and the situation, when different strategies are adopted, is analyzed using the technique of Markov chain. An APM system is considered, where the vehicles in the system do not always run individually, but sometimes run in the form of a train. This paper attempts to point out the essential dependencies of the vehicle behavior on the control strategy. It is assumed that the vehicles arrive individually. The basic idea of the control strategy is that the individually incoming vehicles are connected at the merging section. Thus the vehicle capacity of the outgoing line from the merging section is equivalently increased. As the result of analysis, the relations among the arriving traffic of the vehicles in two incoming lines, the average waiting time of the vehicles in the individual lines, the average number of connected vehicles in a train, and the density of train operations are derived explicitly. The dependencies of the average waiting time of the vehicle and the outflow traffic density of the train on different control strategies are examined.

A developer's people mover education

AbstractThe Three Rivers Corporate Center office complex proposed to the City of Pittsburgh initially included a half‐mile, automated people mover system as a link to downtown. After four years of effort and substantial investment, the project was dropped and the people mover was never built. What happened and what lessons were learned are described by the project's would‐be developer. Issues affecting the commercial application of people movers are examined from a developer's perspective and recommendations for improving the marketability of people movers to real estate decisionmakers are offered for consideration.

A comparison of automated people mover and accelerating moving walkway costs and effectiveness

This paper compares passenger travel time performance, capacity, initial costs, operating costs, and maintenance requirements for accelerating moving walkways and automated people mover systems. The review is based on a case study involving the Satellite Transit System at the Seattle‐Tacoma International Airport and an accelerating moving walkway network which might have been substituted for the Satellite Transit System. The results of the case study indicate substantial advantages for the accelerating moving walkway alternative insofar as initial cost and travel time performance are concerned. Capacities of the two systems are comparable. Total operating and maintenance costs for the accelerating moving walkway system are concluded to be possibly substantially less than and, at most, comparable to the operating and maintenance costs for the people mover system.
