Escalators

The Escalator object represents an escalator, comprising five key sections:

the area from the end of the balustrades to the comb line
the flat portion of stair that leads to the lower work point
the inclined stair (riser) that leads to the upper work point
the flat portion of stair leading to the upper comb line
the upper landing as far as the end of the balustrades

When placing an Escalator, you need to draw these elements in sequence. Follow the prompts in the Output Bar.

In simulations, Entities appear to be standing still while using escalators (there is no overtaking).

Note: Like Stairs, Escalator objects can act as targets or filters. When targets, Escalators require you to define Focal Segments. They can be set up to allow movement upwards downwards to match the operational conditions of the venue being modelled. You can also specify if and on which side Entities stand or walk when using an Escalator. When Escalators are used to filter Entities, you need to set Up and Down filter settings
