Abstract

This paper presents mathematical formulae for analysis of passenger traffic using double decker lifts. The formulae are general allowing any possible traffic flow to be considered. A Poisson approximation of passenger arrivals at lift landing stations is assumed allowing probable number of stops and average lowest and highest reversal floors to be calculated. Conventional techniques can then be used to calculate round trip time, interval and capacity factor. The calculations are iterative and require computer implementation.
