Layout decisions shape passenger flow

Escalator layout planning evaluates entrances, floor connections, user directions, peak traffic and evacuation flow together. AKE engineering helps clarify the right layout type early in the project.

Layout planning questions

Which layout types are evaluated?

Single, criss-cross, parallel and multiple-parallel alternatives are evaluated according to project flow.

Why should layout be defined early?

It directly affects shaft planning, floor connections, traffic flow and architectural coordination.
