Furthermore, passengers travelling more than a few floors in under-lifted installations often endure long journey times – the result of the lifts having to stop to answer other calls at most of the intermediate floors. If lifts are too small, slow, or insufficient in number, passengers have to wait for excessive periods for a lift to arrive in response to landing calls. IntroductionĪssessment of performance is a crucial element in lift (elevator) design.
#Elevator traffic analysis manual
Having identified a need to improve our knowledge of passenger traffic patterns, various means of collecting this data are discussed including: manual surveys, computer vision techniques, infra-red counters and analysis based on data logged by lift traffic control systems or traffic analysers. In this paper the authors summarise current, published knowledge of lift passenger traffic patterns and review these against actual survey results. These traffic patterns are also recognised by the lifts’ traffic control system which adjusts the dispatcher algorithm accordingly. In order to calculate the performance of a new or refurbished lift installation we need to estimate likely passenger traffic patterns. This web version © Peters Research Ltd 2009.
