 Vertical Transportation – “The Effective System”
The design and selection towards an “Effective Vertical Transportation System” starts with early entry into the project, preferably at the concept stage itself.
And then by achieving a configuration that balances between the traffic characteristics and handling requirements, building requirements, architectural compulsions and economics of the various technologies available.

1. Establish Design Criteria
 Building definition and characteristics
Population and traffic patterns
Arrival rate
Ingress / Egress & Circulation Logic
Quality of service
Site constraints (applicable to existing vertical transportation
systems)
2. Traffic Simulations, Calculations & Alternatives
Dynamic simulation of the building vertical transportation system and passenger dynamics covering simple and complex situations like
Standard up peak
Combination of up, down and inter floor traffic
Lunch time peaks
Commercial buildings including complex BPO traffic patterns
Shopping malls
Intermittent traffic patterns of multiplexes
Hospitals
Residential buildings
The simulations can be run to the various pre defined templates established by Barney, Powell, Siikonen and Strakosch or a template customized to suit your specific condition.
