A special area of public transport is covered by so-called Automated People Movers. This type of transport is particularly suitable for relatively short distances (up to 3 km). Currently, various systems are available from a variety of companies. Whereas some systems are well-proven at present date, others are still under development. Our role as consultants is to analyse what type of system is most suitable for the client's needs. Moving people from A to B in a theme park has other implications than offering a service for travellers in cities or airports.

We have contacts with all of the major players in this field and we keep our extensive database up to date with the latest information available, including information about Moving Walkways and Lifts. Below are some examples of the different kind of systems in operation around the world. Please phone or e-mail Mr. Serge De Kort for further details.
