Mass Transit
If you manage the running of rubber-tired Mass Transit Vehicles, such as Automatic People Movers (APMs), you will know the importance of keeping the mass transit vehicles running reliably.
The impact of having a vehicle out of service at a busy airport is dramatic. For that reason, it is essential to avoid downtime whenever possible.
How to maximise reliability?
By installing a reliable and accurate Tire Pressure Monitoring System, you can improve the overall availability of your Mass Transit vehicles. A reputable TPMS will alert drivers and staff to a tire pressure anomaly before it becomes a major issue. This enables maintenance to be scheduled at an appropriate time, which in turn decreases vehicle downtime and extends tire life.
Mass Transit vehicles are often driver-less. Since the TPMS for Mass Transit communicates wirelessly with the control room, remote tire pressure and temperature monitoring is possible.
How can TMS® help?
TMS® has vast experience in TPMS for Mass Transit vehicles, particularly in airports around the world. As a matter of fact, our equipment is helping to ensure the smooth-running of APMs in some of the world’s largest airports including:
- Heathrow
- Dubai
- Los Angeles
- New York
and many more.
Undeniably, reliability and accuracy are vitally important in these applications, especially when the consequences of removing a vehicle from service due to tire issues are so significant.
With millions of passengers flowing through these airports daily, they are very reliant on these transport links around the terminals and beyond.
What is special about our TPMS for Mass Transit?
Our unique TMS® Hub, with its 4 independent antennas, ensures signals from the tire sensor are never missed. Even in underground stations where the TPMS antennas must be internal to the vehicle, and where the confined space within a station can create signal reflections and cancelling.
Our system connects to the customer’s control system through the comprehensive API, providing a clear overview of tire data, as well as other important vehicle parameters.

TMS® has been trusted for many years with helping ensure that the availability of APMs remains at the highest possible level by reducing or removing downtime relating to avoidable tire issues.
