Lift traffic analysis: are there enough lifts?
Check in seconds whether a building has enough lifts, judged against ISO 8100-32, CIBSE Guide D, NBR 5665 and national rules. Size, compare, share a report.

What this includes
- One clear answer — "4 lifts are enough" or "Not enough — 6 lifts needed" — with waiting time, interval and people moved in the busiest 5 minutes, each against its limit
- The right standard for the country: ISO 8100-32, CIBSE Guide D, BCO, NBR 5665, GOST 34758, HTM 08-02 and other national rules
- Sizing: how many lifts, of which car and speed, with typical buildable choices first
- Through the day: the morning up-peak by the ISO method, plus lunch, evening and two-way traffic as clearly marked estimates
- Simulation and destination control shown beside the verdicts — it never changes them
- Save, share a read-only link, or download a PDF report with every input, assumption and source
- Never called compliant unless checked against the licensed text of the standard; values you did not type are marked assumed
Frequently asked questions
The country decides. ISO 8100-32 is the base method; the UK adds CIBSE Guide D and BCO, Brazil NBR 5665, Russia GOST 34758, NHS hospitals HTM 08-02, and other national rules apply where they exist. A country with no traffic rule of its own is judged on ISO 8100-32.
No. It is a design calculation. A result is called compliant only when it was checked against the licensed text of the standard; otherwise it says "meets the published criteria", "indicative" or "judged against design guidance". The final call belongs to your lift consultant or the approving authority.
The round-trip calculation follows the published ISO 8100-32 and CIBSE Guide D methods and is tested against worked examples printed in standards and peer-reviewed papers. Every value you did not enter is marked as assumed, so you can see exactly what the answer rests on.
The simulation follows each passenger through the lift group, so it shows the spread of waiting times, the longest waits and how the queue builds, for collective or destination control. It is shown beside the calculated verdict and never changes it.
Yes. Save the study and share a read-only link: whoever opens it sees the study recalculated in their browser without signing in, and never sees your workspace. Turning sharing off ends the link at once. You can also download a full PDF report.
No. The demo runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you change here is saved or sent to Vertisk.
