Abstract
The formulae presented in this paper allow analysis of any peak passenger traffic flow for any practical configuration of lifts. This means that we can consider not only a typical office morning up peak, but also shopping centres, office blocks with underground car parks and roof top restaurants, etc – scenarios not dealt with by traditional lift traffic analysis methods. Derivation of the formulae and their implementation on a personal computer are discussed. Practical applications are demonstrated using the Oasys LIFT program which utilises the General Analysis formulae. Examples are taken from projects on which the author has advised.
