Lift Traffic Analysis
Turn Complex Footfall Data Into Strategic Decision Making
When it comes to planning or upgrading a lift system, guessing can lead to costly mistakes and frustrated users. An independent lift traffic analysis from ILECS takes the uncertainty out of the equation by using real data to model passenger demand, flow, and capacity within your building. Our analysis gives you the clarity you need to ensure your lifts can handle current or future footfall.
Ensure your lift system matches your building’s needs with an independent lift traffic analysis.
When designing a building, it is essential to ensure that any new lift solution will be suitable for the proposed level of traffic. ILECS will work as part of a design team and undertake lift traffic modelling to identify the most appropriate number, size, capacity and speed of lifts required to achieve the best levels of service.
With existing schemes, where the lift performance is unsatisfactory, or changes within the building are proposed to take place either by the increase of footfall or usage of the building, our team will carry out detailed observations and analysis regarding the traffic and how this is handled by your existing lift system. We can then provide in-depth recommendations on the arrangement of the lifts and options for any improvements to be made in the future.
INSIGHT BY ILECS
How will a lift traffic analysis help you?
01.
Monitors the footfall in your building
We collect crucial data by carrying out observations during both busy and quiet periods over a specific length of time that suits you.
02.
Determines the required lifting equipment
Our analysis identifies the type, quantity, size, and speed of lifts required within your building to ensure efficiency.
03.
Contributes towards BREEAM certification
BREEAM offers up to two credits for energy-efficient lifts, one of which includes evidencing that a traffic analysis has been completed.
Why Lift Traffic Analysis Matters for Building Performance
A lift traffic analysis helps building owners, developers and design teams understand how passenger demand moves through a building and whether the proposed or existing lift system can meet that demand efficiently. Without clear traffic modelling, it is easy to under-specify or over-specify a lift solution, which can lead to long waiting times, poor user experience and unnecessary capital cost.
ILECS provides independent lift traffic analysis using real building data, observed footfall patterns and practical lift consultancy expertise. Whether you are planning a new development, reviewing an existing installation or considering changes in occupancy levels, our lift traffic modelling helps identify the right number, size, speed and arrangement of lifts for your building. This supports better decision-making and helps ensure your vertical transportation strategy is aligned with how the building is actually used.
Book your lift traffic analysis with ILECS
Our traffic studies and traffic modelling ascertain an understanding of the efficiency and flow of their lifts, be it a single lift or a group of passenger or goods lifts.
With expert insight guiding your decisions, you’ll be equipped to invest wisely, avoid unnecessary expense, and deliver a system that truly works for your building and its users.
Independent Lift Traffic Modelling for New and Existing Buildings
Lift traffic modelling is valuable both at the design stage and when reviewing an existing lift system. For new developments, traffic analysis helps project teams assess how lifts are likely to perform under expected passenger demand, supporting more accurate planning from the outset. For existing buildings, a lift traffic analysis can reveal whether current performance issues are linked to footfall levels, system configuration or changing patterns of use within the building.
As independent lift consultants, ILECS provides impartial analysis and recommendations based on building performance rather than supplier-led assumptions. Our lift traffic studies help clients understand capacity, handling performance and passenger flow, giving them the evidence needed to plan upgrades, improve service levels and invest in the right solution for the future.
