エレベータの乗降行動を評価する人流シミュレータの開発

抄録

Planning elevator installation in high-rise buildings, it is important to co-create with not only elevator specialists but also multiple stakeholders such as building owners and architects. Therefore, we should share current issues and find consensus on measures among the multiple stakeholders. Then, we also should prototype to solve the issues, and make effects visible. To co-create the planning effectively, we have developed a people flow simulator that enables us simulation of lining up behavior for elevator inside high-rise building. It simulates based on a condition, which include a building layout and traffic demands, defined by a planning. It shows an impact of changes in building conditions and elevator specifications with an easy-to-understand 3D animation. It allows us easily to find issues from the planning and discuss measures with multiple stakeholders. Additionally, we verified an accuracy of developed simulator comparing actual index which calculated from the logs and simulated index which calculated by the simulator. As a result of accuracy evaluation, we have concluded that the simulator has enough accuracy.
