01
Single unit
Einzeleinheit
One-wayBest Use
Suitable for linking two levels where passenger flow is mainly one-directional with time-based direction adjustments.
Escalator & Moving Walk Layout Plans
Logical positioning and arrangement planning based on building structure, traffic direction, volume intensity, and application type. This matrix helps select the most effective escalator layout for each project scenario.
Key Planning Factors
Building structure and available shaft geometry
Installation site and direction of traffic flow
Traffic volume intensity and peak crowd behavior
Application area: commercial, public transport, mixed-use
Customer special requirements and routing priorities
Target transport time between levels
Arrangement Types
05 Layouts
02
Continuous arrangement
Durchgehende Anordnung (Einbahnstraßenverkehr)
One-wayBest Use
Used mainly in smaller department stores to link three sales levels; requires more space than interrupted arrangement.
03
Interrupted arrangement
Unterbrochene Verkehrsführung (Einbahnstraßenverkehr)
One-wayBest Use
Useful when short detours and separated up/down movement help improve circulation and display exposure.
04
Parallel, interrupted arrangement
Parallele, unterbrochene Anordnung (Zweirichtungsverkehr)
Two-wayBest Use
Appropriate for heavy traffic volumes; direction can be reversed by time windows to optimize throughput and operations.
05
Crisscross, continuous arrangement
Kreuzförmige, durchgehende Anordnung (Zweirichtungsverkehr)
Two-wayBest Use
Preferred in major retail/public buildings where transport time between multiple levels should be minimized.
