Advanced Rapid Transit System - Bombardier

The AirTrain JFK system connects 10 fully enclosed stationsand links all terminals in JFK’s Central Terminal Area with twobranches that interface with New York’s regional transit system.Both branches use a common section between the CentralTerminal Area 2.5-km (1.6-mi.) loop and the junction. TheARTC Construction Joint Venture, which was led by SkanskaUSA and included Perini Corporation, was responsible for thedesign and construction of all related civil works.<strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Rapid</strong> <strong>Transit</strong> <strong>System</strong>In addition to the manufacture and supply of vehicles,<strong>Bombardier</strong>’s share of the project work included:• 32 ART MK II vehicles• project management• systems engineering and integration• testing and commissioning• automatic train control• communications systems• automatic fare collection system• traction power system• platform doors for 10 stations• workshop equipment• training and manuals• up to 15 years of operations and maintenance servicesUrban Transport<strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Rapid</strong> <strong>Transit</strong> <strong>System</strong>AirTrain JFK International Airport, New York, USAUnder contract to the Port Authority ofNew York and New Jersey, <strong>Bombardier</strong>Transportation, as part of the AirRail<strong>Transit</strong> Consortium (ARTC), was responsiblefor the design and supply of a fullyautomated (driverless) <strong>Advanced</strong> <strong>Rapid</strong><strong>Transit</strong> (ART) system for New York’s JFKInternational Airport.The fleet of 32 ART MK II vehicles featurelinear induction motor (LIM) technologysimilar to the ART vehicles operating inthe Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, andin Vancouver, Canada. AirTrain JFK*vehicles are equipped with steerable-axlebogies and are ideally suited to the system’stight curves, steep grades, precisestopping requirements and demandingschedule adherence.Providing ride comfort in all-weatherconditions, the 3-metre (10-feet) widevehicles feature extra-wide doors andon-board luggage racks to accommodateairline passenger baggage.<strong>Bombardier</strong> Transportation is operatingand maintaining the system for five yearswith two additional five-year operationsand maintenance options.*Trademark of The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey1501 Lebanon Church Road, Pittsburgh, PA, USA 15236-1491Telephone 1 (412) 655 5700 • Fax 1 (412) 650 6486Australia • Austria • Belgium • Brazil • Canada • China • Czech Republic • Denmark • France • Germany • HungaryIndia • Italy • Mexico • Norway • Poland • Portugal • Russia • Spain • Sweden • Switzerland • Uganda • United Kingdom • USA© 2004, <strong>Bombardier</strong> Inc. or its subsidiaries.
