Traffic Planning For Lifts

This document provides guidelines for traffic planning of elevator systems. It recommends that elevators should be able to reach any part of a floor within 30 seconds and lists appropriate passenger capacities for different building sizes. Additional tips include concentrating elevator groups in single locations, limiting groups to 4 elevators spaced no more than 8 meters apart, and ensuring elevator halls are large enough to hold half the combined maximum passenger capacity during peak hours.

TRAFFIC PLANNING FOR LIFTS

Speed of elevator is generally determined by the number of floor in the building. A


general guide is that it should not take more than 30 seconds to travel in between
the top and the lowest floors.
Passenger Capacity
•For a small or mid­sized building, passenger capacity of 15 (load capacity of
1000kg) or higher.
•For a hotel or large office building, passenger capacity of 24 (load capacity of
1600kg) or higher.
1.Position the elevator so that any part of the floor can be reached with little walking, 
with a focus on lines of movement for traffic.
2. When installing several elevator groups, concentrate each group in a single location.
3.When lining elevators in a row, keep the number of elevators to no more than 4, 
with at most 8 meters between the elevators on each end.
4.If more than 4 elevators are installed, place them on facing sides of a hallway, with 3.5 t
o 4.5 meters between them.
5.It must be possible to see all elevators from anywhere in the hall. Avoid constructions 
with pillars in the elevator hall, and layouts with recessed elevator car entrances.
6..The elevator hall must be large enough that passengers do not spill out even during pe
ak hours. Ingeneral, plan the elevator hall large enough to hold about 1/2 the combined 
maximum capacity of the cars (about 0.5 to 0.8 m2 are required per passenger).
