Overview

Elevate is software used by designers worldwide to select the number, size, and speed of elevators for all types of buildings, both new and old. Elevate can also demonstrate that modernising an existing elevator installation can improve passenger service.

Elevate’s main features include analysis of elevator performance in:

• Offices, hotels, hospitals, shopping centres, residential buildings, car parks, mixed-use buildings, airports, public buildings, sports and leisure complexes, schools and colleges. This is achieved by techniques ranging from up peak round trip time calculations through to full dynamic simulation.
• This dynamic simulation incorporates a graphical display of elevators responding to passenger calls. For your clients, it is a convincing visual demonstration of your proposals.
• An easy-to-use Windows interface. Enter basic information for a quick analysis or comprehensive data for a detailed model.
• Kinematics calculations are applied to generate accurate elevator speed profiles.
• Fully comprehensive help system and online user support.

Warning! Elevate is a powerful traffic analysis tool. However, it will not make the user an elevator traffic analysis expert. For details of training courses, recommended books and examples, please visit www.peters-research.com.
