Features:
Unique Theme: This book comprehensively discusses the quantitative and implementation aspects of elevator traffic selection and configuration, a content rarely found in other similar publications.
Advanced Authoritative Content: The author, standing at the forefront of this academic field, explains the statistical characteristics of elevator traffic in an accessible manner, providing fundamental methods for elevator traffic selection and configuration.
High Practicality: The book is enriched with extensive domestic and international data, representing the culmination of the authors' 18 years of research and promotion, achieving a quantitative standard for elevator selection and configuration.
Abundant Examples: The book features numerous examples of elevator selection and configuration tailored to China's context, offering clear guidance for design and practice, making it a valuable reference for elevator selection and configuration.
Application Research Outcome: This book is an applied research outcome of the "National Natural Science Foundation of China Project (69874026)."
Quantitative Analysis for Architectural Design Needs: The book discusses the quantitative and implementation aspects of elevator selection and traffic configuration based on architectural design requirements. It first presents the regulations and standards for elevator traffic configuration (Chapter 4). Then, it explores the expected output values of elevator traffic systems (Chapter 5), which serve as the knowledge foundation for applying elevator traffic configuration standards. The book outlines the three essential steps for elevator traffic configuration: unit parameter selection (Chapter 6), calculation of elevator operating cycles (Chapter 7), and summation of output values (Chapter 8). Subsequently, it introduces the core content of elevator traffic configuration—elevator traffic configuration diagrams (Chapter 9), elevator traffic CAD (Chapter 10), and optimal elevator traffic configuration (Chapter 16).
Extension to Other Elevator Systems: The book extends the technology of elevator traffic configuration to escalators (Chapter 11), simple elevators (Chapter 12), moving walkways (Chapter 13), and automated parking lots (Chapter 14).
Extensive Application Examples: The book dedicates significant to various application types of elevator traffic configuration (Chapter 15), which is the most engaging section for readers.
Target Audience: This book is suitable for professionals engaged in architectural design, electrical design, elevator design, parking lot design, and elevator design; owners and users involved in purchasing, selling, and maintaining elevators; factories, institutions, and construction companies involved in electromechanical design and construction; departments and personnel related to the elevator industry, property management, and higher education institutions in relevant fields.
