Abstract
To evaluate the design equations for multi-car lift systems it is necessary to obtain values for the average highest reversal floor ( H ) and the expected number of stops ( S ) of the individual lift cars. This paper derives both these important parameters for the most general traffic condition of interfloor traffic and unequal floor demand and population. The specific cases of up-peak and down-peak traffic conditions are then shown to be special cases. Passenger arrivals at the main terminal are assumed to be Poisson distributed, although the more conservative assumption of uniformly distributed arrivals is used for comparative purposes.
