WE HELPED ABU DHABI MAKE THE SHIFT TOWARDS BECOMING A WORTHWHILE PART OF A PASSENGER’S JOURNEY

Airports are evolving. They are more than just transit hubs; they are integral parts of the travel experience. With passengers expecting more from their journey, Abu Dhabi Airport sought to create a memorable, engaging experience rooted in sustainability. Partnering with Pavegen and Masdar City, a leader in sustainable infrastructure, the goal was to integrate an innovative solution that enhanced the passenger experience while aligning with Abu Dhabi’s sustainability goals.

 

Leading the Way in Airport Innovation

With the simple act of a footstep, Pavegen has allowed visitors to be part of an entirely new experience that starts with them. We installed a 16-metre clean energy-generating walkway in a high-traffic terminal at Abu Dhabi Airport. The kinetic tiles harness the footsteps of travelers, converting them into off-grid energy. This energy powers an interactive light sequence and real-time data screens, displaying energy output and footfall analytics as passengers walk by.

To create a more immersive experience, the installation also features an innovative aircraft flight simulation. The more footsteps generated on the walkway, the higher the aircraft soars on the data screen, making passengers’ contributions to the energy levels tangible and rewarding.

Engaging Over 2 Million Passengers

Sustainability in Action: The installation allowed Abu Dhabi Airport to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability in a way that passengers can directly engage with. Travelers are able to power real-time lighting and contribute to an interactive display with each step.

Memorable Experience: Over 2 million passengers now interact with this innovative walkway every year, adding a meaningful, eco-friendly experience to their travel memories.

Live Data Interaction: The live energy and footfall analytics displayed on the screens provide passengers with immediate feedback, reinforcing the impact of their participation and fostering a deeper connection to the sustainability message.

By integrating Pavegen’s kinetic technology, Abu Dhabi Airport has created a unique and sustainable travel experience that enhances passenger engagement while supporting its environmental objectives. This installation not only highlights the airport’s forward-thinking approach but also leaves a lasting impression on travelers, proving that sustainability can be both impactful and enjoyable.
