Innovative and Energy Efficient Mobility Solutions for Airports

Manish Mehan speaks on the sustainable mobility solutions for airports

How do elevators and escalators help in effective management of passengers in an airport?
As air traffic and passenger volume increases, smart and energy efficient elevators are more important than ever to ensure efficient, dependable and energy-saving airport mobility at international and local airports around the globe.

As more and more airports embrace energy efficiency, what kinds of elevators are desired?
It has been decided by the Indian civil aviation ministry that by 2024 end, about 96 airports of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) would operate on 100 per cent renewable energy. Also in the works is a carbon mapping exercise for airports and building a green plan going forward. These developments have accelerated demand for smart and energy efficient elevators in India. Sustainability is often a key factor for project owners when choosing between mobility solutions. Modern airports and transportation hubs look for mobility systems that are more energy-efficient, more intelligent and more integrated into the building operations workflow. Leading and more innovative players in the market have more comprehensive and innovative solutions in place to satisfy these requirements, and would be able to better capture these opportunities. Especially with the latest mobility solutions, the development of elevators and escalators has become much more efficient. Smart elevators such as IoT- based elevators can monitor performance, offer real-time maintenance recommendations, provide updated status, advance reporting, control, and monitor the elevator remotely. For instance, TK Elevator’s, “MAX”, which is a game-changing predictive and pre-emptive maintenance solution that extends remote monitoring capabilities to dramatically increase current availability levels of existing and new elevators. Utilizing the power of Internet of Things (IoT) and Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing technology, MAX predicts maintenance issues before they occur, and empowers elevator engineers by flagging the need to replace components and systems before the end of their lifecycle.
Having said that, TK Elevator’s passenger and freight elevators deliver improved energy efficiency (VDI 4707 and ISO 25745-3 certified); increased transport capacity; reduced space requirements; enhanced safety; and greater durability and recyclability. All these factors are essential for efficient and safe mobility at the airports.

How is the Indian Aviation mobility market performing, and what are its key driving factors?
The civil aviation industry in India has emerged as one of the fastest growing industries in the country during the last few years. India has become the third largest domestic aviation market in the world and is expected to overtake UK to become the third largest air passenger market by 2024.
