One traffic study report covers all rises in the building — add a rise for each (low-rise, high-rise, shuttle…), like adding groups. Click a rise to edit it; double-click to rename.
Scenario
%
Lift rise
One lift rise (group) per scenario — model low-, mid-, high- and sky-rise
groups as separate scenarios. The express zone is the floors this rise passes without serving;
those floors carry zero population for this rise (served by the lower zones), and the population
or NLA you enter is spread across the rise's full height (express + served).

CIBSE Guide D round-trip hand calculation for conventional (2-button) control. Destination
control has no published hand-calc equivalent — its benefit is shown by simulation below.
PCA office quality grade — lifts (3rd ed. 2019)
Benchmarks per the Property Council of Australia Guide to Office Building Quality, section E (3rd ed. 2019).
Method per the published Australian industry consensus: 1-hour runs at the
target grade's demand, E3 waits taken from the worst 5-minute period; density 1 person/12 m² NLA, cars ≤ 80% by mass.
E2 (ride quality) and E5/E6 (goods lifts) sit outside a traffic study.
ISO 8100-32:2020 — simulation method
Method per ISO 8100-32:2020 cl. 8.2–8.4: per traffic mix, constant-demand runs at the required handling capacity and
+1/+2 %; each 120 min with the first 15 min and last 5 min excluded; criteria per Table 3. Encoded with attribution and
cross-checked against published ISO 8100-32 guidance summaries — confirm against a
licensed copy of the standard for contractual use.
Step profile — handling capacity by simulation
Demand rises in 1%-point steps (10 min each) to beyond the design value; the system has saturated where queues grow
without bound — waits spike while the interval stays nearly constant (CIBSE Guide D ch 4).
Measured capacity is approximate (single seed).

One traffic study report covers all rises in the building — you pay once per building, not per rise.
Once payment is processed, a single-use access code for this project is emailed to you. The PDF prints once per access code — to print again you purchase another, so review the report carefully before you print.
