In such a fast-paced world , breakdowns in transportation can create significant stress - the number of elevators out of service worldwide is around 190 million hours .

ACCEL and iwalk Alongside these new innovations , we also saw two thyssenkrupp solutions that have become staples at airports around the world . ACCEL is an accelerated moving walkway , connecting metros , airports and multimodal systems , reducing congestion and increasing access , moving over 7,000 passengers per hour . The technology is a cost-effective alternative to the construction of new underground transport networks . ACCEL and MULTI for metros are currently at the discussion stage with the designers and consultants for Transport of London in order to bring these technologies into fruition .
In addition , thyssenkrupp ’ s moving walk , the iwalk , is a flat moving system , constructed with 30 percent less weight to appeal for future constructions and is a cost-effective alternative and has been built wider to encompass wheelchairs , trolleys and an increased number of passengers .
Thyssenkrupp ’ s main aim is to continually keep people moving and become an integrator of transportation systems . The company has a clear focus on future concepts and designs to ensure quality of life is maintained . Instead of viewing the current issues with transportation infrastructures , thyssenkrupp focuses solely on solutions .
With the challenge to maximize existing demand of public infrastructures , thyssenkrupp will continue to test future prototypes , create various designs and ensure the world is able to move freely , providing long-term advantages within larger cities and throughout the world .
