Passenger bridge (100), comprising a proximal end (110), comprising a passenger passage opening (111); a distal end (120), comprising a bridge head (121); at least one first bridge segments (130), a proximal one (131) of which comprises, at the said proximal end (110), said passenger passage opening (111); at least one second segments (140), a distal one (142) of which comprises, at said distal end (120), the bridge head (121); a first support structure (150), arranged to support said first (130) and second (140) bridge segments so that at least one of said first segments (130) and at least one of said second segments (140) can be individually tilted; whereby the said first (130) and second (140) bridge segments together form a connected passage way for passengers between the proximal (110) and distal (120) ends, allowing the bridge head (121) to move vertically in relation the proximal end (110) by said bridge segments (130,140) tilting; characterised in that the length of the distal second bridge segment (142) can be telescopably adjusted, thereby moving the bridge head (121) horizontally in relation to the proximal end (110), and in that the passenger bridge (100) further comprises a second support structure (160), supporting the distal end (120) and being individually horizontally movable in relation to the first support structure (150).

A modular system for constructing an elevated pathway includes a first pathway segment comprising a first elevated platform portion; first edge supports to bare a load of the first elevated platform portion, wherein the first edge supports contact a ground surface and create a grade separation between the ground surface and a bottom side of the first elevated platform portion; and a first joint. The modular system also includes a second pathway segment comprising: a second elevated platform portion; second edge supports to bare a load of the second elevated platform portion, wherein the second edge supports contact the ground surface and create a grade separation between the ground surface and a bottom side of the second elevated platform portion; and a second joint to attach to the first joint to limit a motion of the second pathway segment relative to the first pathway segment.

A system and method transports a load across an expanse between first and second locations. The first and second locations can be on land and/or water and having a base surface of ground, waterbed, and/or vessel between them. The system includes supports, ramps, and a bridge assembly. The supports mounting on the base surface and are disposed on first and second sides of the expanse. The ramps mount on adjacent ones of the supports and/or on at least one the supports and the base surface. The bridge assembly has one or more longitudinal girders configured to extend parallel to one another across the expanse. Each girder has beams being modular and being hingedly connected end-to-end. Each girder has a first end supported on a first support, has a second end supported on a second support, and has an entire length between the ends that is self-supported. The entire self-supported length supports and transfers weight of the load to the ends supported on the supports. In this way, weight from the load is not transferred to a levee or the like in the expanse.

A deployable bridge carried on or by a vehicle, the bridge being movable from a stowed position to a deployed position, in which a bridge launch mechanism is provided and has only a single actuator.

A platform panel is disclosed. The panel includes a core having a top surface and a bottom surface. The core has a composite skin disposed on the top surface and the bottom surface of the core. Further, recessed pockets having a fastener port. Moreover, the panel includes a first hinge member disposed on a first side of the core, and a second hinge member disposed on an opposing side of the core in relation to the first hinge member.

The innovation relates to a passenger boarding bridge which contains at least one stationary segment and at least one movable segment, in particular a plurality of segments movable relative to one another, wherein each segment has wall, floor and roof elements, and, in the transition region of individual segments, transition element, which are possibly extending at an angle, are provided on the floor side, characterized in that safely elements formed in the manner of railings are provided in wall-side sections of the wall elements of the segments and are positioned on the wall-side sections of the individual segments in such a way that a relative movement of the segments with respect to one another can be carried out unimpeded.

A portable, height-adjustable gangway includes a lower tower structure comprising a lower landing and a lower movement assembly comprising a first set of wheels permitting the lower tower structure to travel over ground, an upper tower structure comprising an upper landing, an upper movement assembly comprising a second set of wheels permitting the upper tower structure to travel over ground, and an extending tower support connecting the upper movement assembly and the upper landing and comprising expandable struts configured to move the upper landing towards and away from the upper movement assembly, and a travellator pivotally connected to the lower tower structure and pivotally connected to the upper tower structure such that, when the expandable struts of the tower support extend at least one of towards and away from the upper movement assembly, the escalator tilts. The escalator can be a continuous set of stairs, a gondola-like trolley, or both.

Disclosed is a boarding bridge having a transparent display. The boarding bridge includes a first tunnel connected to a terminal gate, a second tunnel connected to be capable of overlapping with the first tunnel, and a control unit. The first tunnel and the second tunnel each have a plurality of transparent displays, and include at least one overlap detecting sensor unit. Through the overlap detecting sensor unit which detects whether a transparent display of the first tunnel and a transparent display of the second tunnel overlap, the controller can selectively control the playback of images on the transparent displays of the first and second tunnels.
