Study on the Configurations and Operations of the Passenger Elevators in City Hospital＇s In-patient Building ： Taking Guangzhou as an Example
Abstract：This article tries to provide solutions to the problems of how to resolve the vertical transportation issue in high- rise hospital buildings, and how to reduce patients＇ waiting time for elevators in peak period. This article takes five hospital buildings in Guangzhou for example. By thorough investigation and data analysis, it gives solutions in two means. First, by data analysis, it provides three indicators to evaluate the elevator＇ s service quality, such as 5 min passenger rates, INT and PNT. These three indicators are then linked with the number of beds in the hospital, which can be further used to predict the number of elevators needed. Second, by researching the layout mode of vertical transport organization in typical hospital buildings, this paper summarizes experiences which could be widely referenced.
