2. Recommended Arrival Rates & Recommended Interval

Calculating Handling Capacity

HC = (P * 0.8 daily occupancy factor) * (Arrival rates / 100)

A)

Estimation of quality of services

1. Estimated population
Floor occupancy = 10 units = 22 person
*each bedroom assume 2 person

P = 40 floors * 22 = 880

2. Recommended Arrival Rates & Recommended Interval

Peak Arrival Rate

Arrival Rate = 7%
Arrival Rate = 880 * (7 / 100)
= 62 person

According to table, the lift system proposed should be size to handle 62 persons
with a 40s interval, ie: a satisfactory system performance.

B) Estimate car size to handle 62 persons in five minutes with an UPPINT of 40s
- Number of trip in 5 minutes period: 300 / 40 = 7.5 = 8
- Number of person per trip: 62 / 8 = 7.75 = 8
- Car size will be = 8 * 0.8 = 6.4
A 8 person lift car is the nearest standard size. Then, from Table.3.4 H =33.4 , S
=6.0 , P = 6.4
C) Decide on the lift system

- Total travel is 162m: Table 3.6 indicates minimum rated speed of 6m/s
- Thus transit time is 3.4m / 6 = 0.5s

Door opening, to = 2.0s ; Door closing, tc = 3.0s

Stopping time = 6.0 + 2.0 + 3.0 0.5 = 10.5s
Assume passenger transfer time = 1.2s
Then, from RTT quotation,
RTT = (2 * H * transit time) + [(S+1) * stopping time] + (2 * P * transfer time)
= (2 * 33.4 * 0.5) + [(6.0 + 1) * 10.5] + ( 2* 6.4 * 1.2)
= 33.4 + 73.5 +15.4
= 122.3

To achieve an interval of 40s, 3 cars will be needed.

UPPINT = 122.3 / 3
= 40.7s
Up peak handling capacity
UPPHC = ( 300 * 3 * 8 ) / 122.3
= 58.8 = 60 persons

2nd Scenario ( Break into three zones ( low, mid & high)
Estimation of quality of services
3. Estimated population
Floor occupancy = 10 units = 22 person
*each bedroom assume 2 person

P = 15 floors * 22 = 330

4. Recommended Arrival Rates & Recommended Interval

Peak Arrival Rate

Arrival Rate = 7%
Arrival Rate = 330 * (7 / 100)
= 23 person

According to table, the lift system proposed should be size to handle 23 persons
with a 40s interval, ie: a satisfactory system performance.

B) Estimate car size to handle 23 persons in five minutes with an UPPINT of 40s
- Number of trip in 5 minutes period: 300 / 40 = 7.5 = 8
- Number of person per trip: 23 / 8 = 2.875= 3
- Car size will be = 3 * 0.8 = 2.4
A 5 person lift car is the standard size. Then, from Table.3.4 H =12.5, S =3.6, P =
4.0
C) Decide on the lift system

- Total travel is 54m: Table 3.6 indicates minimum rated speed of 2.5m/s
- Thus transit time is 3.4m / 2.5 = 1.4s

Door opening, to = 2.0s ; Door closing, tc = 2.0s

Stopping time = 2.5 + 2.0 + 2.0 1.4 = 5.1s
Assume passenger transfer time = 1.2s
Then, from RTT quotation,
RTT = (2 * H * transit time) + [(S+1) * stopping time] + (2 * P * transfer time)
= (2 * 12.5 *1.4) + [(3.6 + 1) * 5.1] + ( 2* 4 * 1.2)
= 35 + 8.7 + 9.6
= 45.3

To achieve an interval of 40s, 1 car will be needed.

UPPINT = 45.3 / 1
= 45.3s
Up peak handling capacity
UPPHC = ( 300 * 1 * 5 ) / 45.3
= 33 persons

Lift cars for mid & high zones with same lift car size need to have travel speed of
5m/s or 6 m/s respectively
