First Look LAX Airport People Mover Train Cars
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лют 2024
- Los Angeles International Airport's (LAX) Automated People Mover (APM) train system will feature the INNOVIA 300 APM, which is specifically designed to serve airports and dense urban areas. LAX will be the first domestic airport to feature this model vehicle, which will help provide time-
certain access in and out of the fifth-busiest airport in the world once the APM system is operational.
The rubber-wheeled train car and center guidance systems will help create a comfortable, quiet ride. The vehicle's automated, driverless operation, increased passenger capacity, higher top speeds, aluminum car body, reduced headways and increased operational flexibility meet the increasing industry standards for safety, sustainability and operations. - Спорт
I watched an in depth interview with the head of LAX on NBC a couple months back. He said once the cars get on the tracks they will be tested for approximately eight months before being put to use for the general public.
Yeah, unfortunately I think that's why they had to push back the 2024 opening. Really wish we could've had it this year
8 months? They can do it in half the time.
@@markdc1145 I bet you if its highway, it can just appear right next to your house overnights, without blockage, without any "enviromental reviews".
Usually it takes about 12 months to test glitches, obstruction, safety, and tracks. They test all scenarios as well as the automated system on continual.
It will most likely take a year.
I think they're self-driving. After all it's an AUTOMATED people mover. The window wipers might just be there for when the maintenance people are operating them.
It is just someone back at the desk controlling it. Pushing buttons.
Nice update, John!
Thanks for the update John! Can’t wait for the entire project to be fully completed 😉👍🏻
Exciting! They look similar but not identical to the cars used at DFW and HOU! Thanks!
Thanks for the early peek!
I wish San Diego airport have this moving train.
Love the vids keep up the work
This a great video and thank you for all your updates
The connection between the K Line and C Line is essential, as is the connection from the C Line to the Metrolink station, especially for the Olympics in 2028.
Y’all finally caught up to Hartsfield Jackson at last! Meanwhile our domestic turn around extension should be dropping in May/June.
Will the Metro Connector station and the remaining stretch of the K line be able to open before the APM system is operational? Hopefully it doesn't have to sit idle until the APM is ready.
Well, the K line runs on the lower level so the K line could use the station even if the upstairs level is not open.
Same as in Chicago Airport 😃,nice
A recent report says that the people mover at LAX opens in 2025. If LAX/Metro Transit Center station opens later this year and the people mover is still under construction, the LAX airport shuttle may move from Aviation/LAX to LAX/Metro Transit Center
if both K line and C line connected in 2025 it would be a miracle, more like 2366. and norwalk to metrolink santa fe spring station will be done by then as well.
@@CancelUA-cam026 Or year 4000 AD.
@@LINJ638 When we're entering Dune's age Norwalk station and metrolink santa fe spring station still not connected 😂
SFO people movers is called
ART & with an expansion already in place, to a parking garage at San Bruno Ave (San Bruno CA) into the terminal with BART on another level into the airport
Any idea how much square footage the new airport terminals, new rental facility buildings etc, will add to the overall size of LAX? That is compared to other airports? Also what will the final gate count be? I believe they are currently sitting at 150 gates. Just curious if all these improvements will maybe change the size rankings of airports in the US? either in overall size and or busiest rankings after all these new gates become online. Wonder if any sluths have done some projections? 😆
They look like the skylink in DFW, Those can really move
Done 😮😮😮
Any idea what instrument should be played for this train?
Sweet
Windshield wipers for the operators?? Isn't this an APM... Surely there's no drivers.
Probably for manual testing purposes at first or in case of an emergency when a driver might be required.
THEY DO EXIST!!!!!
I'm surprised that they're not fully automated. Unless they're going to re-train the bus drivers...
I wish they would explain the rules of how this is all going to work as far as who can still enter the airport, who hast to use the people Mover, etc. I can’t seem to find that information.
I would imagine the horseshoe will still be open to general traffic, but things like shuttles and FlyAway, and possibly rideshares, could be diverted to one of the outside APM stations. That would probably provide a faster means to reach your terminal anyway, rather than wait in traffic getting to and on the horseshoe and then stressing to get over to the curb at the correct terminal. My guess for which station that could be would be Metro Center for buses and LAX West ITF (the first station outside the terminals) for rideshare as well as in general drop-off and pickup so you wouldn't have to drive around the horseshoe.
where is the Llama Dome?
Why are there operators? Why not automated?
Because Murica!
Testing thing probably even though they could pull it off
I assume he's made a mistake. It's not an APM if it's not automated lol
Probably to test manual operation of the car in an emergency.
Even when this system is completed, congestion will remain unless we limit the types of vehicles entering the airport.
According to reports, it has been decided that shuttle buses will be banned from entering the airport.
However, in general, the vehicles that enter the airport the most are rideshare vehicles such as Uber or Left. Without regulation of these, the newly introduced system will be useless.
The rideshares-- AND taxis-- were already banned before the pandemic. I'm not sure what their current status is, but there is a designated place for people to catch their rideshares, and it's outside the main terminal area.
Rental car shuttles will no longer be needed, because the APM will go directly to the new rental car facility. That will leave the hotel shuttles and the private parking shuttles. I don't know what they will do with those.
I think the APM is a great idea, but there are so many people who think the "only" way to get to LAX is by private car. You would think they would hate the congestion in the main terminal area. Especially after what happened Sunday, even though that was supposedly due to construction on the APM outside the main terminal area somehow.
I see another episode of “Engineering Disasters” in the making🤣
I thought it was supposed to be ready this year.
It probably is, the Metro connector end is not.
LAWA, the city agency that runs LAX, has delayed the opening of the LAX Automated People Mover from July 2024 to October 2024 to April 2025. The LAX/Metro Transit Center, which is being built by Metro to connect the Metro C and K Lines to the APM, is scheduled to open in fall 2024 and it looks like it will, even if the APM isn't ready.
It will have English and Spanish announcements on this peoplemover if completed.
The train cars should be colors and patterns. They’re so boring in white.
No wayyyy! That would be tacky. The white compliments the new streamline look of the terminal facades, the stations, the Y shaped light poles, and the Theme Building.
the white gives it an Orwellian vibe than
There will be no more need to take a car and pay for those stupid parking garages anymore. Too many of them!! Yuck.
I have read those mobsters with the garages are causing all this delay. This should be up and running by now.
