Arrangement

For some lift types to operate efficiently, it is sometimes necessary to restrict how passengers use the elevators.

Conventional for Single Deck elevators has no restrictions.

Double Deck with no odd to even floor traffic corresponds to the lower cab serving odd-numbered floors and the upper cab serving even-numbered floors. Incoming traffic could be represented graphically as:

There will normally be escalators between Level 1 and 2 (lower ground and upper ground).

Outgoing traffic could be represented as:

Interfloor traffic with this selection is also restricted odd to odd and even to even:

Double Deck with odd to even interfloor traffic allows for interfloor traffic to be unrestricted. This provides additional flexibility, but will have an impact on handling capacity. It can be represented:

The incoming and outgoing traffic is still assumed to be restricted odd to odd and even to even.

Zoned 2 cars per shaft with no inter-zone traffic is for use with proprietary systems such as TKE TWIN^TM where there are two independent cars in a shaft. You should only use this option if you have a version of Elevate with TKE dispatchers enabled.

In this arrangement, the lower and upper cars serve a lower and upper zone with the split defined by the First floor served upper zone variable (entered in Building Data). Incoming traffic could be represented graphically as:

Outgoing traffic can be represented by:

And interfloor by:

Zoned 2 cars per shaft with interfloor traffic crossing zones allows people from the lower zone to travel to the upper zone and vice versa. This provides additional flexibility, but will have an impact on handling capacity. This can be represented:
