Influencing Factor Analysis of Ultra-tall Building Elevator Evacuation

Abstract

This paper develops an elevator evacuation model for ultra-tall building which is implemented by AnyLogic package. Pedestrian movement and the elevator running can be well combined into the elevator evacuation model. Theoretical analysis is conducted to explore the influencing factors of the elevator evacuation and how the elevator evacuation time is determined by these influencing factors, including the number of occupants evacuating by one elevator, the height of refuge floor, the elevator speed and acceleration speed, the elevator capacity and elevator door width etc. Simulation experiments are conducted to analyze the elevator evacuation time of ultra-tall building. By theoretical and simulation analysis and the elevator evacuation time 说 can be expressed as functions with several variables.
