蒂森克虏伯电梯公司宣布将为美国密歇根州庞蒂亚克的一条人行天桥提供6套iWalk设备，设备的长度在150至200英尺之间。作为美国最长的人行天桥，长度达到1,000英尺，将为美国抵押贷款机构UWM总部联合海岸的150万平方英尺的校园提供服务。这些iWalk覆盖了人行天桥，其中4套iwalk的长度为200英尺，另2套为150英尺，6套设备将安装在桥板上，但看起来与最终的行走表面齐平。通过紧凑的模块化设计，iWalk的重量比传统的自动人行道轻约30％，还设有睡眠模式，可在非使用状态时节省能源。同时，处于睡眠模式的设备还能够监视设备上有多少人，并相应地调整电源使用情况。
THYSSENKRUPP iWALKS FOR LonGEST PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IN U.S.
thyssenkrupp Elevator has announced it will provide six iwalks ranging from 150 to 200 ft in length to a pedestrian bridge in Pontiac, Michigan. As what will be the longest pedestrian bridge in the U.S., at 1,000 ft., it will serve the 1.5-million-ft2 campus of United Shore, headquarters of U.S. mortgage lender UWM. Covering the length of the bridge, four iwalks are 200 ft long, and two are 150 ft long. The six units will be installed on the bridge slab but will look flush with the final walking surface. With a compact, modular design weighing approximately 30% less than conventional moving walks, the units will feature sleep mode, resulting in energy savings when no passengers are on them. Sleep mode is also able to monitor how many people are on the units and adjust power usage accordingly.
