Introduction
Building transportation has been widespread to the big building such as mall,
airport, hotel and what not as it purpose to enable the guests, employee, and comfortable,
quick and safe move. At the first, the technology called stair used where it upgraded and
renewed to make it energy less and efficient movement to the people. As example of big
building like mall,the most preffered building transportation are elevators, escalators and
travellators.
Therefore, escalators also one of the transportation to the building. There is a few
essential setups that are utilized for most common elevator frameworks, they are step type
escalator, wheelchair accessible escalator and levylator. The escalators can be design in 3
layout either crosscriss, multiple parallel or parallel which it function to lift passengers and
could be a power-driven, nonstop moving stairway planned to transport travelers up and
down brief vertical separations. Lifts are utilized around the world to move person on foot
activity in places where lifts would be illogical.
Other than escalator, travellator moreover broadly been requested from the advertise
which is in a perfect world to invigorate the activity of human transporting particularly within
the compact region for distant better development and clearing framework administration.
Common open region incorporate airplane terminal, shopping shopping center, prepare
station, and traveler fascination would be most suggested in advertising this
contemporarily arrangement for the fast development of activity volume by the extended
scale of urban improvement. There are a slight differences between escalator and
travelator. A travelator may be a level, moving sideway, regularly found at an air terminal
or other areas that requires an excessive amount of strolling. An escalator could be a
moving staircase that transports individuals between floors of a building. So a travelator
moves on a level plane. An escalator moves vertically.

Situation
Shopping center could be a huge encased shopping zone from which activity is
prohibited. Ordinarily, shopping center was built higher than two floors. Stairs are required
to create beyond any doubt that each floor are associated to each other. So, to form
beyond any doubt that no challenges when human enter the shopping center, the design
construct building transportation framework. For case, in case culminate human come into
shopping center, he or she can utilize stairs or escalator. But, what in case, crippled come
into a mall, he or she can utilize lift or travelator. This can be the critical of why we ought to
construct building transportation framework. Be that as it may, deciding the fitting building
transportation framework is additionally vital so that no other issues will happen.
Objective
What are we point for doing these exercises are to know the figure of choosing the
reasonable building transportation framework for shopping shopping center concurring to
our circumstance. In expansion, by implication moreover for make beyond any doubt that
we as understudies can tell in subtle elements the fundamental components of mechanical
building transportation. Next, to form beyond any doubt that we will portray and illustrate
the operation of building transportation. Final but not slightest, to create beyond any doubt
that we are able look at and select reasonable building transportation framework based on
the pertinent concepts, standards and applications.
Problem statement
These days, lifts, elevators and travelator have ended up an irreplaceable portion of
present day buildings. As the spine of a building, it gives auxiliary back, as well as
guarantee simple get to to the building. Elevator, a power-driven moving staircase, is
outlined to transport travelers up and down over brief vertical separations. Be it elevator,
lift or travelator, the essential reason of these machines is to keep individuals moving in all
regions of open life.
5
Lifts, elevators, and travelators have ended up a common locate in shopping
shopping centers, metro stations, airplane terminals, and inns to move person on foot
activity. Be that as it may, introducing and keeping up them requires specialized know-
how. Lifts establishment could be a complex and exact handle which must be carried
carefully. Legitimate establishment is fundamental to guarantee ideal proficiency and
compliance with all wellbeing and security benchmarks. So, introducing lift or lift or indeed
travelator in a shopping shopping center, few things ought to be considered such as the
necessity establishment of building transportation framework, the circumstance of client
development, and comfortability of client whereas utilizing the building transportation.
Methodology
In carrying out this action, we chosen to utilize a few strategies to get data and advance
accomplish the destinations of this movement. Among the strategies utilized by our bunch
is to form a visit to a few shopping shopping center to see and recognize more clearly and
precisely almost the building transport framework utilized by a shopping shopping center.
In expansion, to get more data related to the building transport framework is by utilizing
innovation, we surf the web and get the schematic graph on the operational instrument of
building transportation.

Escalator, travelator and elevator is the transportation system that had been used
widely in every type of building according to the building suitability and requirements.
Every transportation system has it own purpose and speciality.
For building such as shopping mall, escalator and elevator is often used as
transportation to transport people to lower or upper floors. In shopping mall, it is always full
of shoppers. Escalator and elevator provide them with an excellent, quick and safe
transportation system. Shopping malls usually are huge and have more floors make it
meet the requirement to install escalator and elevator.
7
While elevator in shopping malls is made for people who are in needs such as disabled
people. The reason why travelator is not installed in shopping mall is because, there is no
use of trolley. Travelator is made particularly for the use of trolley.
Apartment buildings is the major and common building in Malaysia. The need
for apartments arose as cities became larger and populations grew. Urban areas simply
do not have enough real estate for everyone to have a house [ CITATION won \l 1033 ].
Apartment usually has many floors, therefore elevators were installed as transportation
system for people to go to upper and lower floors quickly and safely. Escalator is not made
for apartment in general. It is because, to save cost and due to limited space of an
apartment.
DISCUSSION
building transportation system is very important in public building like mall shopping,
hospital, university, airport, large and high rise building. Among transportation building that
often used like lift / elovator, escalator and travelator.
Elavator / lift

In this discussion we would like to shared about something about elevator such as how
elevator worked , main compenant in the elevator , and the type of elevator used in the
public building. Before install a elevator , we need to know requirement from Department
Occuputional Safety and health ( DOSH).
1. The lift car moves in a specially constructed vertical chamber within building
2. The lift car is driven up and down along guide rails by a drive machine which is
connected to an electric motor
3. The direction in which the lift car moves is controlled by a drive controller.
4. The drive controller determines the direction of the car movement according to the
position of the car, the call button and the floor button pressed by the user.
5. When the lift car arrives at a floor where a stop is required, the sensing circuits will
inform the drive controller to stop the car there.
6. After the lift car is stopped, the car door and the landing door open together
automatically.
7. One lift car can transport up to about 20 passengers from one floor to any
8. other floor at one time They are suitable for high rise buildings

Traction lift:
Traction elevator is powered by an electric alternating current (AC) motor pr direct current
(DC) motor which is coupled to the hoisting mechanism through a reduction gear. The
motion of the car is obtained through traction between the suspension ropes and the
driving sheave. There have two type pf traction lift is geared and gearless traction lift.
The geared elevator is made up of a motor that has a gear box attached to it. The main
function of the gears is to power the wheel that moves the ropes. This type of elevator
can travel up to speeds of up to 0.3 m/s. the maximum distance it can travel is 76.2 m.
11
Hydraulic lift :
Hydraulic elevators are normally given support by a bottom-placed piston. The purpose is
to push the elevator car up while an electric motor forces hydraulic fluid down the piston.
When it’s time for the elevator to come down, the valve releases the hydraulic fluid from
the piston. This type of elevator is mostly used in 2 to 8 story buildings and can only travel
at a maximum speed of 200 ft per minute. There have many type of hydraulic elevator
such as roped hydraulic elevator,hoseless hydraulic elevator and conventional hydraulic
elevator.
12
Safety device
elevators are very important in a building to facilitate the movement of people from
one level to another. however, the elevator will also have problems. Therefore, each
elevator is fitted with safety devices to prevent any accidents in the elavator. Among the
safety devices installed in the elevator are:
1. alarm bell:
The alarm bell shall sound when the alarm bell button in the car operating panel is
pressed. The bell shall mute when the pressure on the alarm bell button is released.
3. Overload device:
It triggers the alarm when the rated load of the lift is exceeded.
13
Escalator
Working principle:
1. The core parts of the escalator are two chains, which rotate around two pairs of gears.
At the top of the escalator, an electric motor drives the transmission gear to rotate the
chain ring. A typical escalator uses a 100 horsepower engine to turn the gears. The engine
and chain systems are mounted in trusses, which are metal structures that extend from
floor to floor.
14
Escalator motor use to rotate the gear
2. The chain ring moves a set of steps. The steps remain level as the chain moves. At the
top and bottom of the escalator, the steps fold into a platform. This makes it easier to get
up and down the escalator.
15
Ridges that fold the steps
3. Each step of the escalator has two sets of wheels, which rotate along two separate
tracks. The top gear (wheels near the top of the steps) is connected to a rotating chain and
is pulled by a drive gear located at the top of the escalator. The other wheels simply slide
along the track behind the first wheels.
4. The two tracks are separated from each other, so that each step can be kept level. At
the top and bottom of the escalator, the track is in a horizontal position, flattening the
steps. There are a series of grooves inside each step to connect the front and rear steps
during the levelling process.
16
Horizontal position of wheels at the top of escalator
5. Besides rotating the main link, the motor in the escalator can also move the handrails.
The armrest is just a rubber conveyor belt that circulates around a series of wheels. The
conveyor belt is precisely configured to move at exactly the same speed as the steps,
making the rider feel smooth.
17
Components of escalators
1. Balustrade
The side of an escalator extending above the steps, which includes moving handrail,
interior panel, deck board and skirt guards.
18
Moving handrail
The major panel portion of the balustrade located below the moving
handrails, made of glass.
Deck board
The lowest panel within the balustrade, located below the Inner Deck and
adjacent to the steps at a slight gap from the steps.
2. Truss
Assembly of structural steel that supports the weight and load of an escalator.
Controls stop/start operation and also supplies electric power to the driven unit.
Drive unit
A chain that transmits the drive unit’s power to the drive wheel (sprocket).
Upper sprocket / lower sprocket
Drive wheels installed at the upper and lower parts of an escalator. The upper
sprocket drives the steps, while the lower sprocket turns the step.
19
2-2. Other Truss parts:
Main track
A device that indirectly drives the moving handrail at the same speed as the
steps via the moving handrail drive chain.
3. Step
The moving platform on which escalator passengers ride.
Step Tread
A yellow line along both sides of a step to demarcate the proper standing area,
thereby preventing passengers from coming into contact with the Skirt guard
and stumbling.
Driving roller/trailing roller
Each step is linked to the step chains via the step shaft and the wheels. The
front wheel is called the driving roller and the rear wheel is called the trailing
roller.
Step chain
A chain, located on both sides of an escalator, connecting the steps and driven
by the step chain sprocket.
Floor plate
The section of the floor plate on which the comb teeth segments are
20
mounted.
Comb plate
The section of the floor plate on which the comb teeth segments are
mounted.
Comb
A section or steel plate with teeth that mesh with the step cheats at the
boarding and landing areas, to prevent fingers, feet or foreign objects
from getting caught between the moving steps and floor plate.
Round light
A round light installed on the interior panel at the boarding and landing
areas.
Comb light
Lighting provided at comb label at the the terimnal ends of an escalator
for increased illumination.
Under-handrail lighting
Lighting installed under the Moving Handrails (glass panel only).

Configuration and layout options of escalators
1.Parallel
2. Multiple parallel
3. Spiral
4. Criss-cross
22
Factors affecting escalators design:
a) Physical requirements
Distance of vertical and horizontal must be considered to determine the
escalator’s actual length.
b) Location
Must located in places that can easily be seen by the public.
c) Traffic patterns
Number of passengers at peak should be estimated. To avoid excessive
bunching, escalators with different direction should be physically separated.
d) Commercial purposes
Sometimes, the side of the escalator is rented for advertisement purposes. A
good layout of escalators will make people easy to notice the advertisement.
e) Aesthetic preferences
Aesthetic preferences is important in order to attract customers. Unique and
various styles of escalators will make a good impression on people.
Travellator
24
i. Carries pallets and act as a guide chain for the moving pallets.
a) The travellator usually seen in airports. It moves slowly and has a slow-moving
mechanism that will transport people across over a short to medium distance. This
moving walkways can be used by standing or walking on them. They are often
installed in pairs, one for each direction. It also can be either a horizontal travellator
or an inclined travellator.
