Abstract
nPersonal rapid transit (PRT) systems open a slew of new possibilities for solving airport-related transportation issues, both on the ground and in the air. For use in airport applications, the advantages and disadvantages of this mode of transportation are contrasted. An implementation of the ULTra Personal Rapid Transit system to assist passenger and staff vehicle squares at Heathrow is used to showcase the work. The ULTra infrastructure’s compact size and flexibility allow it to utilize tunnel side bores and integrate with the complex central terminal area in an unexpectedly straightforward manner. In comparison to present buses, detailed comparisons demonstrate a reduction in travel time and a reduction in operational costs. The glass/polypropylene face sheets were produced using a single diaphragm forming procedure. Microstructural examination of the face sheets proved that this method produces excellent consolidation. The face sheets and core material were adherently joined and tested to verify the model. The body panel failed due to an adhesive failure when the stress reached 11.7 kN. The American Public Transportation Association’s requirements for the body panel’s static loading were met. A traditional bus with an aluminum covering and supporting steel bars showed excellent weight savings of more than 55% as compared to the thermoplastic composite body panel. The research demonstrates that such modes of transportation are ideally suited to land-side airport uses. A summary of potential benefits for airside operations is also provided.
