Handling capacity of LIFT - sandeep jain - 06-02-2019

Handling capacity


The handling capacity is calculated by the formula:
    HC =  (300 x Q x 100)/T x P
Where
HC = Handling capacity as the percentage of the peak population handled during 5 min.
Q = Average number of passengers carried in a car
T = waiting interval, and
P = Total population to be handled during peak morning period. (It is related to the area by a particular bank of lifts)
The value of ‘Q’ depends on the dimensions of the car. It may be noted that the capacity loaded always to its maximum capacity during each trip and, therefore, for calculate the value of ‘Q’ is taken as 80% of the maximum carry capacity of the car.
