This paper presents reasons and constraints which have made Automated People Movers extremely expensive for airport applications and subsequently prevented smaller airports from considering technological solutions to their surface traffic problems. The paper also offers some recipes for better and more diversified use of People Mover technologies and project implementation techniques for both intra-airport and airport transit link applications.
