Plans for the expansion of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) are likely to cause longer walking distances inside the Schiphol Centrum passenger terminal. This can increase the risk in maintaining established time schedules and minimum connecting times for performing passenger processes. However, the currently installed Conventional Moving Walkways (CMWs) are not always capable of providing short travel times. In this paper, we investigate the application of Accelerating Moving Walkways (AMWs) to support passenger processes in AAS, particularly in terms of reducing travel times and walking distances. The current situation in Schiphol Centrum is analysed with regard to walking distances, passenger processing times and the time schedules and connecting times. The application of AMWs in the terminal is evaluated with regard to planning considerations such as location and transport capacity, as well as the expected contribution and benefit from the proposed systems in comparison to the current CMWs.
