AIRPORT SHUTTLE PORTO ALEGRE, BRAZIL LOCATION CONTRACTOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Salgado Filho International Airport, Porto Alegre, Brazil Empresa de Trens Urbanos de Porto Alegre S.A. (Trensurb) Empresa de Trens Urbanos de Porto Alegre S.A. (Trensurb) LAUNCH PASSENGERS CARRIED 2013, August Over 2.5 million (2016, March) STATUS Public Line in Commercial Operation IMPLEMENTATION SPEED AND LOW COST The Shuttle Line at Salgado Filho International Airport in Porto Alegre, which is the capital of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), was planned as one of the projects for the World Cup 2014. The flexibility of the job and its rapid implementation were crucial for the launch, which happened one year in advance, in 2013. As the Aeromovel is a transportation featured by an elevated guideway, it was vital to facilitate the mobility between two important spots of the city: the airport and the local train. INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ROUTE LINE METROPOLITAN TRAIN SPECIFIC TABLE OF THE LINE The Aeromovel runs through a track of 1 km, and connects the airport to the local train station. Thus, the influx of users of the Shuttle Line is supplied by the train which joins both downtown and other cities in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, in a track of 43 kilometres. The system has arisen as a quick, comfortable and safe transport solution that reduced the route that could only be done on foot or by bus, to less than two minutes. The low cost of maintenance of an air-powered system is considered ideal for airport connection projects. This line has two vehicles in operation which are able to carry up to 10,000 passengers every day, at a significantly lower cost in comparison to other similar transportation ways. aeromovel.com.br Line extent 1.011 m Minimum radius 35 m Maximum slope 3,0% Vehicles/Capacity A-100/150 and A-200/300 passengers Maximum speed 65 km/h Propulsion 2 propellers of 302 kW each Route configuration Single line shuttle Additional features 1 deviation / 1 parking area
