IMAGINE INNOVATIVE AND SMART WAYS OF MOVING IN LARGE AIRPORTS
Aéroports de Paris is giving you the opportunity to take up a unique challenge: let's revolutionize part of the passengers' journey in major airports. How? By coming up with new airport mobility ideas for the future.
This challenge is a unique opportunity for you to propose your own ideas for transportations within an airport hub, covering new technologies, design, architecture, engineering and marketing,
Come up with ideas for new systems, innovative services or way to move that will help to deliver new transportation methods and access points within the airports of tomorrow.
Set your ideas free and get ready for boarding on a world tour!
THE PRIZES
First and foremost, this challenge is a unique opportunity to pitch your project to a prestigious panel of managers and executives from Aéroports de Paris and international experts in the field of urbanism and transports, and to develop your innovation skills.
What's more? There are various prizes to win:
- The winners will win a ticket for a round-the-world trip, to visit 6 destinations of your choice!
- A VIP day to visit the Control Tower, the Terminals… the airport's behind the scenes.
- Tickets to go to the International Paris Air show in June
- A 5 day-stay in Paris - including the airline ticket to come to Paris
THE SCOPE
You will have to think about innovative solutions that could completely improve ground transportation within large airports by 2025-2030. The aim is to facilitate mobility between the major areas of the airport (terminals, business areas, shopping centers, car parks...).
People may use it in the landside of the platform, which means that it will not be intended for passengers in transfer, nor to access to the airport from the city.
THE
CONTEXT
Car
accesses and transportation within major airports are key challenges,
particularly as number of passengers rises, bringing additional road traffic.
Some of these airports cover areas similar to some cities urban areas (in fact,
they are cities!).
For
example, Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, covers an area representing about
one-third the size of Paris. This increasing traffic, coupled with a
significant volume of cargo passing through international airports and the rise
of employment, represents major issues regarding congestion and traffic
problems. This is setting a new challenge: it's all about mobility.
The
emergence of new means of transport (individual and multi-occupant driverless
vehicles, aerial concepts such as SkyTran, etc.), changes in individual habits
(the development of car-sharing, multi-user car rental, etc.) and the
introduction of new technologies are expected to result in huge changes and
bring new opportunities in this area.
By
2025-2030, Aéroports de Paris is looking to develop new sustainable ways of
travelling within the airport to improve flows and internal services, optimize
investment and reduce its environmental impact. Those ways of travelling also
include short trips such as escalators, pedestrian dedicated areas, etc.
Those
new means of transports should aim to improve traffic and flows for all kind of
users, passengers and staff, without any distinction (elderly people, disabled
users, families, groups, etc.).
THE
CHALLENGE
Do
you have an innovative and sustainable idea that could help Aéroports de Paris
improve the way people move within Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub, don't you? This
challenge is for you! Remember: you need to come up with new ways of getting
around within the airport (e.g. connected cars or minibuses, automatic pods,
etc.) rather than ways to travel between home and the airport.
