This paper summarizes the challenges that are encountered when modifying an existing transport system. Such challenges include replacing and/or upgrading obsolesced components, adding vehicles and platform doors to existing infrastructure, upgrading and extending electrical systems, as well as improving the functionality of several diverse sub-systems (i.e. rope relocation devices, Closed Circuit Television [CCTV], in-cabin passenger information screens, platform Personal Information System[PIS] displays, vehicle suspension). It is important to note, that system improvement should be considered as a periodic event through the lifecycle of an Automated People Mover [APM] in order to ensure a high level of operational reliability and maintainability.
