Newark Liberty International Airport
AirTrain SCADA System
Owner:
The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey
Location:
Newark Liberty International Airport, NJ
Project Description:
The Newark Liberty International Airport is the sixth busiest airport
in the nation, serving over six million people every month. In order
to transport patrons from the New Jersey Transit Authority rail
system, outlying parking lots and rental car agencies to the terminal
area, the Authority replaced its bus system with an automated
people mover monorail system.
Transdyn provided the Facility Management SCADA System (FMSS),
which monitors and controls all power distribution, station fire and
station security devices. The system manages various facility and
vehicle support systems that are critical to the safe and secure
operation of the monorail. The FMSS provides several custom control
sequences including detecting and correcting faults, emergency
power removal sequences, power factor correction, and guideway
and rail heating control.
