In 2017, the LINK automated people mover (APM) at Toronto Pearson International Airport transported an average of 24,000 passengers per day—a 20% increase in passenger traffic from 2015. To increase operational service levels, preventative maintenance optimization (PMO) initiatives were undertaken in 2015 and 2016 in coordination with the APM owner, manufacturer, and the O&M service provider. The initiatives were designed to increase the overall day-to-day operational run-time of the LINK system while maintaining existing levels of safety and reliability. This paper uses the LINK APM system as a case study to discuss the requirements for successful PMO implementation, which include inter-organizational communication and cooperation, reliability-centered maintenance strategies, and due diligence as relates to safety-related sub-systems and processes. This paper concludes that PMO strategies can be successfully implemented on a public transportation system while also increasing operational reliability, and offers a blueprint for how similar optimization strategies can be successfully utilized elsewhere.
