Guideway
The APM uses a self-supporting steel guideway. It is a light steel guideway, which is possible because of the use of lighter trains. The track consists of an I-beam which forms the running and guiding surface. The guideway superstructure is a steel framework construction. The guideway does not require heating in harsh winter conditions. Steel adapters between the steel truss guideway and the concrete columns allow height adjustments to compensate for ground settlements. The track can span more than 67 m (220 ft).
