The Innovia APM 100, formerly the CX-100, is a driverless, rubber-tyred automated people mover vehicle intended mainly for airport connections and urban lines. It evolved from the Westinghouse C-100, a system first demonstrated in Pittsburgh in 1965 and put into airport service at Tampa in 1971. Adtranz kept building it, Bombardier acquired Adtranz in 2001 and rebranded the car first as the CX-100 and then as the Innovia APM 100 to bring all its people mover models under one name. A car is 12.8 metres long and carries 105 passengers, reaches 55 km/h and runs on a central guideway on rubber tyres, driven by two 75 kW Bombardier DC motors. The type serves many airports and the Miami Metromover, which replaced its original cars with Innovia APM 100s in 2008, as well as the Bukit Panjang LRT in Singapore and the Guangzhou APM Line.
