A moving walkway, also known as an autowalk,[1] moving pavement,[2] moving sidewalk,[3] people-mover, travolator,[4] or travelator (British English),[5] is a slow-moving conveyor mechanism that transports people across a horizontal or inclined plane over a short to medium distance.[6] Moving walkways can be used by standing or walking on them. They are often installed in pairs, one for each direction.
