エレベータ設置計画におけるシャトルエレベータによる乗り継ぎ影響の評価

抄録

With urbanization in recent years, the number of high rise buildings is on the rise. In high rise buildings, the sky lobby arrangement is effective in which passengers utilize shuttle elevators to reach the middle floor named sky lobby and then utilize local elevators for their destination floors. In this study, we investigated the influence of shuttle elevators on local elevator waiting time in sky lobby buildings. Using the people flow simulator that can evaluate transfers between multiple elevators, we conducted simulations under various conditions that changed the group control method and capacity of the shuttle elevators. As a result, it was confirmed that the waiting time of the local elevators worsens under conditions where the number of people flowing into the sky lobby at one time increases.
