Circular Transportation in the 21st Century (IAEE)

This paper is being presented at the IAEE Elevcon conference in June 2010. It combines a summary of highlights from a paper presented in late 2009 at the New Civil Engineer’s Conference held in London called “Engineering Design for Tall Buildings” entitled “Vertical Transportation, Maximising Core Efficiency – New Concepts” with some radical new thinking about the future of vertical transportation coining the new phrase “circular transportation”.

3D – Destination Double Deck; The Next Generation of Double Deck (IAEE)

This paper explores the work done in the past six years on identifying the inherent and perceived problems with double deck lifts in general and when used with “conventional” two button collective traffic control systems in particular. It also identifies the many advantages of so-called 3-D “destination double deck” control systems being pioneered by Lerch Bates for new high rise towers.

Development of Simulation System for Lift Design (ICSE)

This paper addresses the work done in pursuit of an expert system for designing building passenger vertical transportation systems.
