ABSTRACT
Uppeak traffic sizing defines the underlying capability of the lift installation. This size should be decided by the requirements of the target building, whether speculative or high prestige. Once the uppeak capability has been decided the quantity and quality of the service in all the other traffic conditions is also decided. This chapter discusses some considerations and techniques that can be applied to the uppeak traffic condition normally encountered during the morning incoming traffic. Some of the sections answer pragmatic questions, but others are simply for curiosity.
