Elevator attributes

1. On the Lists menu, click > Pedestrian Traffic > Elevators.

The attribute and attribute values of this network object type are shown in the list on the left, which consists of two coupled lists.

The list on the left may include the following attributes:

Long name	Short name	Description
Number	No	Unique number of the elevator
Name	Name	Name of elevator
Elevator group	ElevGrp	Elevator group to which this elevator belongs (Attributes of elevator groups)
Cab height	CabHeight	Inner height of elevator cab [m]. This value defines whether the floor located above the highest floor serviced by the elevator is “broken through”. This way, an obstacle is created there.
Shaft display type	ShaftDisplTyp	Display type of area between exterior of elevator shaft and cab
Floor display type	FloorDisplTyp	Display type of cab floor
Wall display type	WallDisplTyp	Display type of cab walls
Ceiling display type	CeilDisplTyp	Display type of cab ceiling
Door display type	DoorDisplTyp	Display type of cab door
Capacity	Capacity	Maximum permitted number of pedestrians per elevator cab. Once the capacity is reached, no additional pedestrians can enter the elevator.
Capacity is exact	CapExact	If this option is selected, no more passengers than defined in the Capacity box will enter the elevator. A boarding delay has no effect. If this option is not selected, within one time step more passengers could enter the elevator than specified in the Capacity box, in particular if the elevator has several doors.
Motion state	MotionState	Result attribute with current cab movement: Coming to a halt: Cab comes to a halt Going Up: Cab moves upward Going Down: Cab moves downward
Destination level	Destlvl	Next floor the elevator cab stops at. If the elevator is called from outside, the destination level can change.
Travel direction	TravDir	Direction in which the elevator is currently moving. When the cab has come to a halt, the direction of the next ride is indicated.
Current level	CurLvl	Level the elevator cab is currently on.
Alighting door choice method	AlightDoorChoiceMeth	Method for selecting the elevator door that the pedestrian uses when getting out of the elevator. Only relevant if the elevator has several elevator doors that open on one level on different sides of the elevator. Random door (default value): The pedestrian chooses the elevator door randomly when getting out. This may require the pedestrian to travel a greater distance to the next route location on their pedestrian route. Door to the next route location: The pedestrian gets out by choosing the elevator door that offers the shortest direct distance to the next route location on the pedestrian route.

By default, the display types are based on the display types selected as default in the network settings (Network settings for standard types of elevators and elevator groups).

Note: In lists, you can use the Attribute selection icon to show and hide attribute values (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list).

The list on the right contains attributes and attribute values of network objects, and/or base data allocated to the network object selected in the list on the left (Using coupled lists):

Pedestrians (Showing pedestrians in the network in a list)
Points: edit coordinates of the corners
Doors (Elevator door attributes)

The attributes are described further above.

2. On the list toolbar, in the Relations list, click the desired entry.
