The variable speed motors used for propulsion increase efficiency and minimize any loss of energy. Large, powerful motors provide Aeromovel with a wide range of air movement capability while keeping the cost of operation and maintenance at a minimum. The stationary power propulsion units reduce wear and allow simple and efficient maintenance, because they are separated from the moving vehicle. The system is fully automated and uses proven Programmable Logic Controllers. The Industrial Automation approach is extremely reliable, safe and eliminates human error.
Modular philosophy enables the standardized development of numerous reusable modules.
These pre-programmed modules can be applied from project to project with a minimum of alteration and maximum reliability. The Control System is also the center of communications, station supervision and the depository of all vital functions. For rapid construction and minimum disruption to surrounding activities, the guideway is erected in pre-fabricated modular sections in prestressed concrete or steel, which may be readily lifted into place by day or night. The propulsion concept has the intrinsic safety feature of an air buffer between propulsion plates which helps to prevent collision between vehicles. Automation includes redundant and high reliability systems.
