The most modern elevator in the world

Every elevator user wants to move fastest without having to stop the middle tier while tall buildings do not have much space to install large numbers of elevators.

A new solution has just been launched by Hitachi Elevator Company: the elevator allows 6 to 8 cabin circulate in a space equal to twice the space elevator normally.

Each cabin up and down will move sideways before moving. A team at Hitachi says the new technology can save space and reduce waiting times for passengers.

This idea came from the popular paternoster elevator in Europe in the early 1900's. The paternoster lift moved with the doors open and passengers could step in and out without waiting for the cabin to stop. again. This lifting device is currently not used due to its low safety and can not be maintained. But the Hitachi lift solves this problem.

Double-glazed cabins with an independent control system allow one cabin to stop while the other is still moving. With independent transmission systems and cabins have doors, safety regulations for lifting equipment are guaranteed. Each pair moves on a circle so that it moves or stops without affecting the movement of the other cabin.

If the elevator has eight cabins, there will be four transmission systems, each of which will move a pair of cabs running in the opposite direction on a round. This allows the cabin to stop or start without interrupting other cabin movements. The computer will control the position and speed of each cabin to ensure that the cabin does not huddle together. Hitachi also calculates the level of safety and stability in order for passengers to process both up and down.

"The elevator can be stopped completely, it can be closed and open, passengers will be up and down safely and will feel like moving on a normal elevator ," said team leader of research labs. Hitachi will exhibit at the International Electronic Exhibition in China this August with a new 1/10 scale elevator model and 9 floors.
