Passenger Flows at Escalators – Arriving at Count Interval for Design Flow Estimation

Selection of a count interval to extract flow data on pedestrian facilities seems to be governed by the operational environment of the facility and context of the study. Based on the flow condition, which may be intermittent, uniform, or periodic, the count interval has been found varying between 1...

The absolute design flow value may be considered between 140–148 ped/m/min, which is the 5th highest rank order peak flow.
