2. Traffic calculation
When deciding on the number
of elevator cars, passenger capacity and
service floors, study of numerical data is
required for the traffic calculation. The
general values for traffic calculation are
shown below.
3. Simulation
The building's traffic demand could be simulated with computer to understand more
about the service condition such as average waiting time and chances of long waits. Integrating
the result simulation with the traffic calculation to allow for better accuracy planning. The output of
the simulation contains the peak hours and the usual service condition. The general values for the
simulation are as follows:
Example : Rental office building with demand concentration at 6% of building population per 5
minutes span (during office hours)Average wait times : 30sec or lessChance of response within
30seconds : 70% or greaterChance of response after 60 seconds or more : 5% or less
