Abstract
The accelerating escalator has been proposed. ln the accelerating escalator, the steps speed in the inclination area is faster than that in the landing area. Therefore, in the accelerating escalator, the safety in the landing area and the shortening of the arrival time to the next-floor consist together. But there is no study about the actualization of the accelerating escalator. First, this paper explain the structure and ours basic way of thinking about the design of the link method of the accelerating escalator. And the possibility of actualization is investigated by the dynamic analysis simulation. Furthermore, on the result, one fifth size miniature model of the accelerating escalator is made, and it is confirmed that the rotation movement of the steps while changing the speed is possible.
