Janne Sorsa is Head of People Flow Planning in KONE Major Projects, Finland. He obtained the degree of D.Sc. (Tech.) in applied mathematics in 2017 from Aalto University School of Science, Finland. He has developed optimization models and numerical algorithms for lift group control systems.
His research interests include all aspects of modelling people flow in buildings such as transport planning, simulation, behaviour, human factors and evacuation.
ISO 8100 Part 32 is a new international standard published in 2020, addressing the planning and selection of passenger lifts for installation in offices, hotels, and residential buildings. The standard describes two methods to determine an appropriate lift installation: traffic calculation and simulation. Guidance is given on inputs to the analysis and how to review its results.
A Technical Report is being prepared to support the application of the standard. In preparation for this work, a survey was undertaken to help understand the application of the standard and how the authors could best support its use. The survey results provide insights into how people engage with the standard and what additional guidance needs to be provided.
This paper summarises the feedback and the scope of the additional guidance which will be included in the Technical Report.
Market feedback and additional guidance on ISO 8100-32.
