, the elevator group that the elevator is allocated to will be chosen from 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 group |
|
Name |
Name |
Name of elevator group |
|
Acceleration |
Accel |
Value for acceleration and deceleration of elevator cabs in shaft [m/s²] assigned to this elevator group |
|
Maximum speed |
MaxSpeed |
Maximum speed of elevator cab assigned to this elevator group [m/s] |
|
Door motion duration |
DoorMotionDur |
Time [s] to open the elevator doors of cabs assigned to this elevator group. This also applies for the closing of elevator doors. |
|
Door closure delay |
DoorClosDel |
Time [s] after which a pedestrian must have cleared the elevator door and the door begins to close. In reality, the time after which the light barrier is no longer interrupted. |
|
Door hold time (minimum) |
DoorHoldTmMin |
Minimum time [s] the door must remain open when cab stops at a level. |
| Main landing level |
MainLvl |
Number of level on which the elevator cabs assigned to this elevator group are when the simulation is started |
| Area behavior type (in cabin) | AreaBehavTypInCab | Area behavior type used by pedestrians in the cab |
|
Area behavior type (alighting) |
AreaBehavTypAlight | Area behavior type used by pedestrians when alighting from the cab |
| Pedestrians who wish to board the elevator may form queues in front of the elevator door and let the pedestrians pass who want to alight the elevator. These queues are formed to the left and the right of the elevator door, on a Vissim-internal area. Pedestrians alighting the elevator move between these two queues. The shape and orderliness of queues are based on the following attributes: | ||
|
Queue straightness |
QueueStraight |
The Queues straightness defines the shape of the queue. Value range between 0.0 and 1.0. The greater the value, the more straight the queue will look:
Default values are defined in the network settings (Selecting network settings for pedestrian behavior). These are used if this attribute is not defined for this elevator group. If no waiting behavior is defined for the waiting areas, the attribute affects all elevators of this elevator group on all floors and for all pedestrian classes. |
|
Queue order |
QueueOrder |
The Queue order defines how orderly the pedestrians line up in the queue. Value range between 0.0 and 1.0. The higher this value, the more orderly pedestrians line up one behind the other:
Default values are defined in the network settings (Selecting network settings for pedestrian behavior). These are used if this attribute is not defined for this elevator group. If no waiting behavior is defined for the waiting areas, the attribute affects all elevators of this elevator group on all floors and for all pedestrian classes. |
By default, the area behavior types are based on the area behavior 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 |
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):
- Elevators: attributes of the elevators assigned to this elevator group (Elevator attributes)
- Waiting areas: areas for which the attribute Waiting area for elevator group has been selected (Attributes of areas)
