Most development in Elevate arise from requests from users.  If you have any suggestions, you are welcome to contact us.

Our current Wish List (in no particular order) includes:

Allow user to control Capacity Factor assumed by ACA algorithm
Display performance time in Elevator Data 
Indicate when dispatcher modes turns on/off automatically in results graphs
Allow user to set load bypass for Group Collective dispatcher algorithm
Change pre-analysis screen to show current data
Display less decimal places in Passenger Data tables of arrival rates and destination probabilities 
Increase size of main data entry dialog box
Decrease font size in date entry tables
General Analysis to have input in Standard Passenger Data mode for traffic with %up, %down, %interfloor
Implement parking floors in addition to home floors
Provide alternative door dwell models
Implement up peak calculation tool on single page
Context sensitive help
Add results filter to abort simulations if specified queue is exceeded
Auto size simulation to fit screen
Option to enter just total population in Passenger Data
Option for conditioning traffic in simulation before main analysis begins
Double deck simulation option
Implement alternative passenger generator modules
Improve consistency between interface for different analysis types
Implement anti-bunching option in benchmark algorithms
Simulation re-wind facility
Add more colour to results graphs
Add tools for passenger traffic surveys
Passenger weight, option to use random distribution with mean equal to user input 
Additional generic dispatchers
Event based simulation option (for speed)
Improve passenger transfer time model, e.g. 2 passengers loading side by side
Add total door cycles to monitoring results (for maintenance)
Allow options for speed fill profiles to have multiple main entrance floors
Add total distance travelled to monitoring results (for maintenance)
Optimisation routine to choose division between low/mid/high rise banks
Multiple elevator groups (e.g. low, mid high) in a single Elevate file
Plot of loading of cars against time
Plot Average and Maximum WT, TT and TTD against time of day
Option to import measured kinematics/flight times from file
Normalise destination probability table so that it does not have to add up to exactly 100%
Improve Results Graphs autoscale options
Option to run Elevate from the command line loading data from XML or CSV file
Allow older versions of Elevate to read files from newer versions
Add to building data speed fill the series, m, m-1, …-1, 0, 1, …. N-1,n
Implement a from/to matrix of travel times in Kinematics tool
Add speed fill feature for floors served in Advanced Elevator Data
Make report options available from Results Graphs dialog
In Group Collect Down Peak mode provide option to define sectors
Provide option to fill advanced data inputs based on Standard mode 
Add audit trail to graphs etc. (time/date stamp).
Allow option for early call announcement with Group Collective dispatcher algorithm
Add door dwell inputs to Standard Elevator Data mode
Add building data speed fill option for floors labelled 1F, 2F, 3F, etc. (for Asia) 
Add residential traffic profile
Allow basic calculations to have all data entered in one page
