Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has received an order for a rubber tired automated people mover (APM) system from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) of Singapore, and has made its first delivery of the originally developed 'Crystal Mover' APM vehicles. Vehicles run by full-automatic driverless operation with automatic train control. The 'Crystal Mover' is an export version conforming to overseas market needs, excellent in design, and people- and environment-friendly. For installation in Singapore, the standards and specifications can be varied depending on the wishes of customers. This paper reports on the 'Crystal Mover' and its subsystems that assure safe and comfortable operation. Essential points of crashworthy design and integration of on-board automatic vehicle protection and operation are discussed.
