Patent ID: 8386291

Claim:
An equipment planning support system for a triple-deck elevator comprising transportation capacity calculation means that includes: a computer that is configured to implement the following calculators: an average stop number calculator for calculating the average number of times of being stopped per going-round on the basis of a given building specification and cage specification data with respect to a triple-deck elevator system; a getting-on/off time calculator for calculating the total value of getting-on/off time periods of passengers based on the calculation result of said average stop number calculator; a door-opening/closing time calculator for calculating the total value of door-opening/closing time periods; a running time calculator for calculating a total value of running time periods; a going-round time calculator for calculating a going-round time period RTT of the elevator from the calculation result of each of said calculators; a practical transportation capacity calculator for calculating a practical transportation capacity HC per triple-deck elevator based on the calculation result of said going-round time calculator, according to the following formula: HC= 300×3 P/RTT where P is the number of passengers in a cage at a time of starting from a reference floor; and an optimum draft plan deriving device that calculates the required number of elevators on the basis of the calculation result of said transportation capacity calculator and the traffic demand to be generated in a building, and outputs an optimum draft plan.
