Need to perform an elevator traffic analysis on an old elevator, or on one that cannot give you the data you need? Tired of standing in front an elevator bank with a pen and paper trying to gather the data you need? Missing key data from the reports you get now? Originally carried out by use of manual calculations and statistical tables lift traffic analysis has, essentially, remained unchanged in its approach since the 1920’s. The introduction of computerised traffic analysis in the mid 1970’s however began a new era in the sophistication and speed of analysing lift traffic performance.

Elevator traffic analysis, Lift Traffic Analysis, Elevator concept design, lift concept design Lift/Elevator Traffic Analysis and Concept/Detailed Design We offer a comprehensive lift/elevator traffic analysis and concept design service. We can also expand this to a detailed design service up to tender documentation stage.

Our detailed design service comprises the following: • Understanding the building nature and operation. • Examination of architect's drawings. • Preliminary lift/elevator traffic analysis using calculation and simulation software to find an initial solution that suits the magnitude and nature of the traffic in the building. • We have experience of high rise and zoned arrangements and we can identify the most suitable arrangement.

• A number of iterations on the lift/elevator traffic analysis to arrive at the optimum solution in conjunction with the architect, client and the design team. • Where appropriate, we will carry out a pedestrian traffic analysis to include escalators and staircases (for more details see ). • Development of AutoCAD drawings for lifts, that can be inserted by the architect into the project drawings. • Development of full dimensional schedule for all lifts and escalators. • Development of full electrical and structural schedule. • We will also produce a comprehensive report that includes all the above, with necessary background information and analysis.

About Elevate Elevate™ is software used by designers world-wide to select the number, size and speed of elevators for all types of new buildings. Elevate™ can also be used to demonstrate that modernizing an existing elevator installation will improve service for passengers. Elevate’s features include • Analysis of elevator performance in offices, hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, residential buildings, car parks, mixed use buildings, airports, public buildings, sports and leisure complexes, schools and colleges.

• This is achieved by techniques ranging from up peak round trip time calculations through to full dynamic simulation. • Dynamic simulation incorporating a graphical display of elevators responding to passenger calls. Atomaders 2 full version. For your clients, this provides a convincing visual demonstration of your proposals.

• An easy to use Windows interface. Enter basic information for a quick analysis or comprehensive data for a detailed model. • In addition to standard reports, transfer input data and results to Microsoft Excel at the click of a button. Excel reports also include extensive additional analysis results. • Supplied with a fully comprehensive help system and user support.

Elevate™ is also an excellent tool for developing, testing, and demonstrating your own control systems. About Elevate Express Not everyone needs the full features of Elevate™. Elevate™ Express is the basic version of Elevate, but is still more advanced than most other elevator traffic analysis software! Elevate Express’ features include • Analyze up peak traffic using both round trip time calculations and full dynamic simulation. • Intended mainly for analysis of office buildings, but may be used for benchmark calculations for other types of building.

• Calculates result for a range of sizes and speeds in a single run so you can find the optimum solution quickly. • Easy to use Windows interface.

• For high rise building, elevator groups with express zones may be analyzed. • Provides comprehensive printable reports with your company name in the title for presentation of your design to clients. • Option to upgrade to the full version of Elevate. Summary of Features Features Elevate Elevate Express Analysis Data Up peak analysis - assumes all people arrive at the ground floor, calculates handling capacity and interval Enhanced up peak analysis - like up peak, but you specify the target handling capacity General analysis - people can arrive at any floor - calculate up peak, two way, basement service and more! General analysis for double deck elevators - all traffic flows, but with double deck elevators Simulation - models the whole process of people being transported by the elevators Selection of control systems including conventional and destination dispatch Use Elevate to implement, test and demonstrate your own dispatcher algorithms with simulation Select Metric or U.S.
