A pivotal element of this plan was the construction of an offsite ground transportation hub, the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) and an automated people mover (APM) to transport passengers and airport workers between the MIC and the main airport terminal.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons\u2013Odebrecht Joint Venture (POJV) was selected to implement the APM project\u2014known as the MIA Mover\u2014and was responsible for taking the project from conceptual design to construction completion. Highlights of the 1.25-mi-long APM system include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Capacity of more than 3,000 passengers per hour each way<\/li>\n<li>Eight state-of-the-art Crystal Mover vehicles<\/li>\n<li>Top speed of 40 miles per hour transports passengers between the main terminal station and the MIC station in about 4 minutes<\/li>\n<li>Vehicles are self-propelled and run on tires rather than rails<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The driverless system uses proven technology to combine vehicle operation, train control, station and platform doors, power distribution, and communications. The MIA People Mover has eliminated a significant number of passenger vehicles from the airport\u2019s roads, reducing carbon emissions by 30% and improving traffic safety.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-481 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/project\/mia-mover\/mia_01\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"77\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mia_01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3283\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3283'>\n\t\t\t\tMIA station was constructed in the very confined space between two parking garages.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/project\/mia-mover\/mia_02\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"77\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parsons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mia_02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3284\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3284'>\n\t\t\t\tMIA Station serves the Airport Terminal.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3>MIA\u2019S First LEED Project<\/h3>\n<p>MIA Mover is the first mass transit project in Miami-Dade County to become LEED-certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
