Moving Walkway
Key Features and Functionality
-
Continuous Motion: A moving walkway operates on a continuous loop, much like a conveyor belt, to carry passengers.
-
Variable Speed: The speed is controlled, often set to a pace slower than natural walking speed, which helps passengers get on and off safely.
-
Horizontal or Inclined Travel: While some walkways are purely horizontal, others are designed to move people along slight inclines, such as between different levels.
-
Entry and Exit Points: Passengers can step onto the walkway from a stationary platform at the beginning and disembark at designated areas along its path.
Common Uses
- Airports: To help people travel long distances between concourses and terminals.
- Train Stations: To assist travelers in moving between platforms or through long passageways.
- Large Buildings: In supermalls, exhibition centers, and other large public venues to ease congestion and movement.
Safety Considerations
- Handrail: Passengers should hold onto the handrail to maintain balance and safety.
- Stationary Passengers: Passengers who are stationary should stay to one side (usually the right) to allow others who wish to walk to pass on the other side.
- Intrusion Detection: Modern walkways may include systems that automatically stop the walkway if an object or person gets too close to the edges during entry or exit.
