Innovia Monorail

Innovia Monorail is a fully automated, driverless straddle-beam monorail system, currently made and marketed by Alstom as part of its Innovia series and built by Bombardier Transportation before that. Its design follows the Alweg monorail of the 1950s, popularised by Disney. Bombardier built Walt Disney World's Mark VI monorail trains in 1989, supplied its first turnkey monorail to Tampa International Airport in 1991 and to the Jacksonville Skyway in 1994; these early systems, with the Von Roll-based AirTrain at Newark, are grouped as Innovia Monorail 100. The Las Vegas Monorail of 2004 is the Innovia Monorail 200, and the Innovia Monorail 300 serves Brazil, China and Thailand, with a stated capacity of 40,000 passengers per hour per direction. The cars run on a 690 mm wide guidebeam with evacuation walkways, and trains have been assembled in Canada, China, Brazil and the United Kingdom.
