This second edition of this well-respected book covers all aspects
of the traffic design and control of vertical transportation
systems in buildings, making it an essential reference for vertical
transportation engineers, other members of the design team, and
researchers. The book introduces the basic principles of
circulation, outlines traffic design methods and examines and
analyses traffic control using worked examples and case studies to
illustrate key points. The latest analysis techniques are set out,
and the book is up-to-date with current technology. A unique and
well-established book, this much-needed new edition features
extensive updates to technology and practice, drawing on the latest
international research.

Vertical transportation systems (elevators, lifts, escalators and
passenger conveyors) are used in almost all buildings of more than
a few stories high. Traffic design and control, namely the movement
of people by natural and mechanical means, need to be planned
carefully as the costs of under- or over-provision are considerable
and changes are not always possible. The subject is covered in four
sections. The basic principles of circulation and an introduction
to lifts are set out at the beginning, and then traffic design
methods are outlined, followed by an examination of analysis and
control. The sections are complete in themselves and are presented
in depth, with worked examples and case studies as appropriate. The
latest analysis techniques are set out, and the book is up-to-date
with current technology. The mathematics is simplified wherever
possible and copious references are given for further study and
examples. The practising vertical transportation engineer involved
with the sizing of a vertical transportation installation will find
this an excellent and authoritative resource. Other members of the
design teams: architects, developers and owners, will find the book
a useful reference, and the needs of researchers, lecturers and
students of the subject will also be satisfied by this simple
presentation of the underlying theory. The engineering aspects,
which fall into the areas of manufacturing and production, are not
covered, but the practical constraints and considerations are
indicated.
