A Study on Method of Vertical Zoning of Construction Lift for High-rise Building based on Lift Planning & Operation History Database

As the height and size of urban buildings constructed in cities in Korea have recently increased, vertical lift planning and operation is a key factor for the successful project of a tall building. Although many studies have attempted to set up a lift planning system at an early stage, a real-time lift operation control system with respect to the construction stage has yet to be proposed. Therefore, in this study, the sensor module and storage device named the Embedded Lift Information System (ELIS) was used to collect the lift operating data for improvement of lift operation efficiency in order to develop an optimum lift operating analysis system which could perform real-time analysis. Finally, the pattern of operation data of the lift was analyzed and the lift event of the next day was derived. In addition, we verified the efficiency of the proposed optimum vertical zoning simulation system using the expected lift event extracted from the operation history data pattern. In this paper, the proposed system provides more efficient vertical zoning alternatives for the lift manager. This simulation based decision making tool reduces the user’s queuing time compared with the previous system. This system is expected to contribute to high-rise building construction of over 400 m.
