【 摘 要 】

At present environment, especially in the urban cities, peoples are very busy and moving continuously and rapidly. With the advancement in technologies, there is a huge opportunity to full fill this people flow experience. Autowalk which is also called as walkalator or movelator is a device used as a mode for transporting the peoples horizontally or laterally from one point to another. The proposed device consists of a pulley with belt arrangement or can be a pallet type of arrangement which is being driven by a motor. Autowalk available in the market today can only transport the people from one point to another, however, for the place where people has to move in a wide spread direction, rather than the point to point there is a need for some devices or some modifications in the existing setup to satisfy those needs. In this multidrop autowalk the people flow traffic is optimized by providing the sub-platform which moves simultaneously along with the main lane. This multidrop autowalk can be widely used in departmental stores, airports, shopping malls, theme park, exhibitions, etc.
