MIRAGE/TREASURE ISLAND AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER: SAFE OPERATIONS FOR 19+ YEARS

摘要

The Mirage/Treasure Island (Mirage/TI) Automated People Mover system is a fully automated elevated transit system designed to provide transportation along a single lane, elevated guideway structure. The system operates between Treasure Island Hotel/Casino and the Mirage Hotel/Casino. Having been initially commissioned for passenger service in 1994, the system is beginning its third decade of operational life. JAI, working on behalf of Clark County as an approved third-party, has been extensively involved with the engineering development, safety monitoring, evaluation, inspection and audit of this system. Due to the efforts, consistent approach, and effective management by the operation and maintenance team, JAI is pleased to report that the system continues to operate within functional compliance with the original approved Clark County and OEM requirements and parameters. This paper summarizes significant findings, conclusions, and 'lessons learned' through safety audit activities over the last decade. Also included is a discussion of O&M 'best practices' for this and other similar APM systems in Las Vegas developed over the last two decades.
