People Transportation in Commercial and Public Buildings
Mass transit buildings have only a small permanent population, where most people are visitors moving through the spaces. Public transportation buildings, such as large transit stations, subway stations and airports, can have heavier people flow than 10 000 persons within a day. In low‐rise buildings, people can have several choices of how to move between floors. Elevators are needed to transport personnel, people with disabilities or wheelchairs, and families with children or strollers. In commercial buildings, the traffic peaks are typically in the morning and especially when people return home from work. The number of passenger elevators is calculated from the number of visitors, and the average time they spend in the observation deck. The area of the observation deck sets limits on the number of people per deck. In buildings equipped with restaurants, separate hygienic transportation devices are needed for food transportation.
