(詳細はpeople mover (APM) system at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The system is the world's most heavily traveled airport APM system, with 64,000,000 riders in 2002. The APM was designed to quickly transport passengers between Atlanta Airport's Main Terminal and the seven airside concourses, which include the hub for Delta Air Lines and a major focus of Southwest Airlines operations. Originally not having an official name, on August 10, 2010, the automated people mover was named "The Plane Train". ==Layout and operation== The Plane Train is in the secure area of the airport. It operates within two tunnels beneath the centers of the concourse buildings in the airport's Transportation Mall, which also includes a pedestrian tunnel between the train tunnels. The system has eight stations, one at each of Concourses A, B, C, D, E, and F (International Terminal), and two in the Domestic Terminal—one at Concourse T, which is also the station for passengers from the Domestic Terminal heading to Concourses A–F, and one for arriving passengers heading to Domestic Baggage Claim and Ground Transportation. The Domestic Baggage Claim station, and stations for Concourses T, E, and F station have island platforms between the two tunnels, while stations at Concourses A, B, C, and D each have separate platforms servicing each tunnel. LCD displays announce the destination of the trains arriving at each platform, and the time of arrival for the next train. Each door on the platform also has a set of red lights that flash alternately to warn that the doors are closing. Inside the trains, LED displays deliver station information in eight languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and Korean). The 10 newest vehicles feature visual color LCD displays inside that indicate the next stop on a map. Audio announcements also deliver station information and warns passengers of the train's movements. The messages use the NATO phonetic alphabet to identify each concourse station. For example, the message announcing Concourse B says: "Welcome aboard the Plane Train. The next stop is for B Gates. B, as in Bravo." The one exception to this is Concourse D, which is identified by "David" rather than "Delta" to avoid confusion with Delta Air Lines, which operates its main hub at ATL (for the same reason, the Air Traffic Control Tower at Atlanta regularly uses "Dixie" as the spoken form of the letter D). While Delta does operate some flights on Concourse D, Concourse D is used principally for airlines other than Delta. Audio announcements are provided by voice actress Sharon Feingold.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sharonfeingold.com/voiceography.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Plane Train」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
