The accelerating walkway,which was developed by NKK,travels as slowly at the entrance as a conventional moving walkway (30 -40 m/min),but then moves at its highest speed (54 -72 m/min)in the middle of the walkway after acceleration.The walkway is decelerated to the same low speed for the exit as used at the entrance.The accelerating walkway is designed to ensure safety and convenience of the users because the handgrips at both sides are synchronized with the adjacent walkway pallets.
