IHI has successfully designed, constructed, and delivered several state-of-the-art Automated People Mover (APM) transit systems for demanding urban and airport transit applications throughout Asia and various overseas markets. Building upon this success, IHI is actively developing a new generation of APM vehicle system designed to effectively address the requirements of a rapidly changing industry and market. Composite materials are being applied to primary structures of the new IHI APM for weight reduction and for achievement of stylish design. This paper describes the development of the "Advanced composite carbody system" for the new IHI APM.
