Why do customers trust the accuracy of Elevate’s calculation results?

Customers trust Elevate because it combines technical authority, a long market track record, and a transparent engineering approach.

First, it has unusually strong technical pedigree. Elevate has been principally authored by Dr Richard Peters, a specialist with deep experience in elevator traffic analysis, simulation and control, backed by doctoral-level research, published papers, standards work, and authorship of leading industry guidance used in this field.

Second, it has a long and proven history in the market. Dr Richard Peters founded Peters Research in 1997, and Elevate has been developed and refined over many years. Peters Research describes Elevate as the worldwide industry standard for elevator traffic analysis software and states that companies in over 90 countries use it to simulate, record and analyse millions of passenger elevator journeys.

Third, Elevate is trusted because it does not hide the engineering basis of the answer. Peters Research’s QA statement explains that the software is programmed in C++, and that Mathcad was used to implement whole sections of analysis code so results from two independent implementations of analysis techniques could be compared and inconsistencies corrected if they occurred. That gives customers extra confidence that the core analysis has been carefully checked, not simply coded once and assumed to be correct.

Finally, Elevate is trusted because it is an engineering tool, not a mystery box. The software provides a rigorous framework for analysis, but the results still depend on the assumptions, demand data and design criteria entered by the user. That is exactly how credible engineering tools should work. Elevate helps the user apply sound analysis properly, whether they are following Guide D, a local standard, or their own project requirements.

That is why Elevate is trusted not only by specialists who already know the field, but also by organisations that need results they can explain and defend to managers, clients and project teams.
