The Influences of Elevator Traffic Flow under the Different Elevator Design
|
Abstract:
Accompanied by the rapid development of society and the growing prevalence of high-rise buildings, vertical transportation has become a critical challenge in urban living and working environments. To address these challenges, advanced elevator control systems such as GCS (Group Control Systems) and DDS (Destination Dispatching Systems) have been developed, significantly enhancing the convenience and efficiency of elevator operations. In parallel, ETA (Elevator Traffic Analysis) has also emerged as an essential tool for tackling vertical transportation issues. By analyzing different elevator configurations tailored to specific building requirements, ETA facilitates informed decision-making during the design phase of elevator systems, ensuring optimized traffic flow and minimizing delays. This research leverages elevator traffic simulation to evaluate two distinct elevator configurations (CASE-1: Two large and three small-capacity elevators/CASE-2: Four large-capacity elevators) within the same building, specifically focusing on the actual remodeling project of the Ak-Keme Hotel in the Kyrgyz Republic. By comparing the mixed-capacity configuration and an all-large-capacity configuration, this research provides practical insights that are expected to serve as a valuable reference for actual elevator design in high-rise buildings, contributing to more efficient and effective solutions to elevator traffic challenges.
