An accelerating walkway system (AWS) is a high capacity, continuously available mode of public transportation that has the potential of filling the service gap between walking or conventional moving walkways and conventional vehicular transit systems. This study examines the site and passenger demand characteristics at the Washington National Airport and analyzes the physical, service, and economic feasibility of using an AWS to provide a pedestrian connection service between the Metro Rapid Rail Station and the air terminal. An economic feasibility of the AWS was performed that included investigation of the capital cost, operating and maintenance cost, and life cycle cost of five different AWS manufacturers (Dunlop, APL, Dean Research, TRAX, and Boeing). This report contains numerous charts illustrating the airport facilities, passenger demand, and the various costs associated with the AWS.
