The purpose of this Guidebook is to provide a decision-support tool for planning, designing, and evaluating passenger conveyance systems at airports. In support of this objective, the Guidebook has the following components: Design considerations for including passenger conveyance systems in an airport environment; A decision-making framework with user instructions, that includes: Checklist for planning, design, selection, and feasibility of specific passenger conveyance components at an airport; Key steps for implementing a passenger conveyance system; Requirements for implementing, operating and maintaining the passenger conveyance system; Best practices for various types of passenger conveyance systems. The benefit of this Guidebook to the aviation community is that it develops a set of current that can be used by planners, architects, and engineers. This Guidebook, in association with its decision-making framework and the supporting database, will assist airport planners and operators when considering conveyances to facilitate the movement of passengers and reduce walking transit times through airports. This improved planning process will result in more efficient passenger transit with a positive passenger experience at North American airports.
