AI for Elevator Design
AI for vertical transportation design and analysis.
Definition
AI for elevator design helps analyze and design vertical transportation systems. AI can calculate traffic requirements, optimize elevator configurations, and verify code compliance. This improves elevator system design quality.
In Depth
Elevator design sits at the intersection of traffic analysis, architectural planning, structural coordination, and code compliance. AI assists with all of these dimensions — sizing the elevator system for the building population, verifying shaft dimensions for the selected equipment, coordinating structural requirements for the machine room or machine-room-less configuration, and checking code compliance for fire service access and accessibility.
The traffic analysis determines the number and speed of elevators needed to serve the building with acceptable wait times. AI simulates the daily traffic pattern — up-peak, interfloor, and down-peak — for the specific building population, calculating the average wait time, handling capacity, and system response time for different elevator configurations.
