The multi-car elevator system in which two or more cages run at one shaft will be one of the elevator systems in the near future, in order to solve increase of the traffic demand in high-rise buildings.
In this paper, we propose the calculation method of handling capacity for multi-car elevator systems two cages run at one shaft, or two or more cages run in the same direction at a loop-type shaft, in consideration of the position of cages in the same shaft. And we propose the design method for multi-car elevator systems, which decides the required number of cages, branches and shafts to meet the traffic demand. Moreover, we compare handling capacity of multi-car elevators and investigate optimal elevator facilities for high-rise buildings.
