The Train (Or Automated Guideway Transit System):
DIA’s master plan was based on using an Automated Guideway Transit System (AGTS) to transport passengers between the landside terminal and the airside concourses. The AGTS is an essential part of the overall DIA transportation system. It provides a fast and efficient link between ground transportation and air transportation. The AGTS is a critical component in the successful operation of the airport, providing quick passenger mobility through the airport's public facilities.
The system incorporates fully automated, bi-directional trains that operate in two dedicated tunnels beneath DIA. Train cars, under automatic control, run on rubber tires along concrete guideways that are in a pinched-loop configuration. Each car has four pairs of wheels that lock it to a center steel guide beam anchored to the guideway. The rubber tires of the cars allow a smooth and quiet ride.
The Automated Guideway Transit System operates with a quartet of four-car trains and carries approximately 8,300 passengers per hour in both directions, completing a 2.4-mile roundtrip in 11 minutes, stopping at seven stations to load and unload passengers.
The system operates within a TSA-secured environment. Stations and train cars are fully handicapped accessible. Station platform windows allow passengers to see incoming trains, and large side and end car windows allow a clear view of the stations and of the art installations in the train tunnels. Fire-resistant doors on each car and station platform open automatically when a train arrives at its stop. Sensors prevent doors from closing when a door opening is not clear. Regardless of the passenger load, the vehicles automatically level themselves to match the floor height of the station platform for easy entry and exit.
Because of DIA's expanse, it is not feasible for passengers to walk from the terminal to most departing gates. The AGTS, as a critical system, was built with redundancy and reliability, designed to ensure continuous movement of passengers by switching automatically to a reduced-service mode in case of a failure. Eleven reduced-service modes, including run-around and shuttle modes, are designed into the DIA system.
Audio and visual announcements in the stations and on the train provide passengers with emergency information. An emergency walkway was built along the entire length of the guideway, with emergency exits located every 400 feet in the train tunnels to facilitate passenger evacuation in an emergency. An elaborate smoke alarm and exhaust system was installed in the tunnels, and the power distribution system has redundant features to minimize the impact of a system failure. An uninterruptible power supply ensures that life-safety, communications and emergency equipment continues to operate even if primary power fails. The AGTS central control is located next to command centers for airport maintenance, operations and police for easy communication and coordination.
The contract to design and to provide the system was awarded to AEG Transportation Inc. in June 1990. The system underwent extensive acceptance testing and verification before DIA opened to ensure safety and dependability. DIA's AGTS is the first airport transit system to fully address the National Fire Protection Association 130 Standard for fixed guideway transit systems. The design of the system has incorporated expansion to allow easy growth as the airport accommodates future traffic.
