Abstract

For large multi-storey buildings, like shopping centers, the usage of escalators is the most comfortable way to change different levels contrary to the usage of elevators. Comparing escalators to elevators, escalators have some advantages: They are open (not a closed box like an elevator), quick to use (just enter, do not wait as in front of an elevator), groups with more than 12 pedestrians can change the building levels as one group, and in case of a failure (e.g. stopping) people can leave the escalator very quickly without extra help of a technical service team. The paper show how people use an escalator in a shopping center during their “shopping tour”.
