Overview: Boston Logan International Airport is evaluating development/implementation of an Automated People Mover (APM) to alleviate congested traffic flow due to increased and projected increases

3 Overview: Boston Logan International Airport is evaluating development/implementation of an Automated People Mover (APM) to alleviate congested traffic flow due to increased and projected increases of passenger volumes. Implementation of the Logan APM is a complicated undertaking. The APM will need to be planned so that it will be complementary with ongoing improvements within the airport, including: Terminal E Modernization Terminal C Roadways Terminal C Canopy and Upper Deck Parking Expansion In addition to integrating with the above improvements, the financial plan for the APM must be based on the needs of these programs, as well as the airport. The planning, design, and construction will be a multi-year process. Construction of the APM adjacent to the above listed improvements at Logan, while minimizing impact to Airport operations will necessitate a phased approach yet still allow for completion of the APM before traffic congestion at Logan curtails growth. In some cases, enabling work will need to be included in other ongoing projects to facilitate the implementation of the APM and avoid re-work. Figure 1 APM Loop Alternative 2
