Narrow escalator capacity
Escalator Capacity
Calculates escalator passenger capacity from escalator speed, step pitch, step width, and practical loading factor. The reduced method converts speed to steps per second, assigns one or two persons per step from width, then reports theoretical and practical hourly capacity.
