- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The APM will have nine trains, each with four cars. Each car will carry up to 50 passengers and their luggage, with a total of 200 per train. Train speed will top out at 47 mph. Trains will be available at each station every two minutes with a total of 10 minutes travel time end-to-end. For easy access, the APM trains will have large, wide doors and each car will have 12 seats designated for travelers in need. The APM will be FREE for all users and operate at all times. Anticipated use will be 30 million passengers per year.
The APM trains, elevators, escalators, and moving sidewalks provide for quick access to the terminals and stations. Passengers will be able to view real-time flight information, public art in a variety of media, and will see the iconic Theme Building from a brand new perspective as the train enters the Central Terminal Area.
In addition to reducing traffic, the APM will leverage cutting-edge sustainability practices to reduce the airport area’s carbon footprint. The system’s fleet will consist of 44 cars that are fully electric powered, 98% recyclable, and generate a portion of their own power through regenerative breaking, while providing an industry-leading ride quality for users. Our command center and maintenance facility generates nearly half of its power from solar energy and is designed to be LEED Gold Certified. These design enhancements allowed the team to offset the carbon equivalent of 12 million vehicle miles driven.
The APM is an historic investment in Los Angeles’ emerging businesses and workforce. More than $580 Million has been identified for local, small or disabled veteran-owned businesses, with $94 Million commitment exclusively to local, small businesses right here in Los Angeles. The project will create more than 2,000 construction jobs, with 30% of those opportunities being reserved for residents of Los Angeles as well as highly impacted communities near LAX. Sixty percent of careers during the 25-year Operations and Maintenance phase are designated for local workers. LINXS, the selected APM developer-has built partnerships with community-based organizations to focus on expanding the pipeline of workers, especially those from non-traditional backgrounds. Through more than $900,000 in investments, the project will create infrastructure career pathways for women, former foster youth, individuals in reentry and transitioning out of gang involvement, and persons with disabilities. HireLAX, LAWA’s Apprenticeship Readiness Program, will be a key partner in this effort, as will other resources offered by the Building Trades and other industry partners. Beginning in March 2018, LINXS will host an on-site career resources office.
That beginning view of the Qatar Airbus A350 landing 🙌
It's growing on me. Can't wait till they are finished and it's fully open! Thanks for the update John!
Almost done is something you can say for years. Sandbagging to highest degree. Not you (thanks for the update) but them.
The stations look pretty dramatic when they are light up at night. They are way larger than the video perception portrays.
I’m so underwhelmed by the dismal standard of design of all the improvements.
They all have a utilitarian look about them, circa 1970.
What a missed opportunity.
I have been watching your channel since your L.A. Coliseum renovation videos. Thank you for being L.A.'s unofficial infrastructure archivist.
"No sign of any work being done" pretty much sums up the whole project. Apparently the operational dates have been moved well into 2025 now.
2 Billion should had China build it.😆
Lax will have a new ATC you know where it is going to be?
Haven't heard of that, I know of construction and upgrades of the runway currently underway.
@JEK according from Kevin AVL he said we going to have new ATC
what does ATC mean?
@@TuanNguyen-uq8gz AIR TOWER CONTROL
@@phillipAAAA new air traffic control (ATC) tower or some kind of smart air traffic control technology?
Almost done ✅??😮😮
Projected to open late 2024-early 2025
@@wiz553hopefully it could be ready in time for the holiday travel rush. LA Metro was saying Fall 2024 for the LAX Metro Center station, and the APM is supposed to open at the same time.
Thanks for this update. BTW, on the close up of the construction on the APM guideway, is that strip on the side LED lighting or simply some type of expansion joint?
Not sure what it is but really curious to see what lighting system they use once fully operational.
Great update thanks!
Since construction is delayed do you think the mover is moved for a scheduled opening in April 2025?
Does it look like the APM will be ready in time for the holiday travel rush?
That's probably the goal.
@@JEK it makes a lot of sense if so, and a really missed opportunity if not. Given how crowded LAX gets during the holidays, having the APM be ready for them will be a great first trial for the new system.
Couldn’t they come up with a better name than PM gosh!
LAXtransit or something more interesting!
I was thinking a name like LAXpress
