moving walkway
Powered pedestrian conveyor
A moving walkway is a flat conveyor belt for pedestrians, typically found in airports and large public spaces to help people cover long distances without walking.
Unlike an escalator, it remains level rather than ascending or descending.
Also called a moving sidewalk or travelator.
