Abstract

"Parmi les machines qui hantent nos vies quotidiennes, le tapis roulant est celle qui traverse le plus insidieusement tous les secteurs d'activité : des tapis mobiles sur chaîne d'assemblage aux tapis de caisse de la moindre supérette en passant par ceux dévolus à l'exercice corporel du fitness. Travail posté, rituel consumériste et souci hygiénique de soi : trois postures qui, chacune à sa manière, nous condamnent à l'éternel recommencement d'une marche forcée. Cet essai veut en retracer la généalogie, plus sinueuse et méconnue qu'il n'y paraît. Sans s'attarder sur les " grues à tympan " de l'Antiquité romaine, on passe en revue bien des appareils oubliés – le " moulin disciplinaire " des prisons de l'ère victorienne, le " manège à plan incliné " des agriculteurs du XIXe siècle ou le " trottoir mouvant " de l'Exposition universelle de 1900 – avant d'aborder les usages plus récents de cet outil crucial du management fordien, de la consommation de masse et du test d'effort cardiovasculaire. Au fil de cette enquête, toutes sortes de matériaux historiques sont mis à contribution : des brevets d'obscurs inventeurs aux running gags du cinéma muet. Et, à l'arrivée, on retombe sur notre très contemporain tapis de course, cette figure terminale du mythe progressiste : de grands bonds en avant qui, la plupart du temps, ne nous ont avancés à rien"

Abstract

"In this new book, vertical transportation devices will be described more from a software than a hardware perspective. The book will describe how to plan and design transportation systems to make passenger journeys pleasant and smooth in buildings. It illustrates measured passenger traffic profiles in different types of buildings and explains how elevator control systems and modern trends of building usage affect passenger service. Methods of measuring passenger journeys and utilization of this information in traffic planning are described. There are no simple equations to calculate passenger service levels. These are usually investigated and described by traffic simulation. Building traffic simulation includes modelling of building passenger traffic using agents, behavioural models and movement vertically and horizontally, and then modelling the impact of transportation equipment with their control systems. The book also provides a starting point for selection of proper transportation equipment for new buildings and for modernization or refurbishment, as well as utilizing simulated occupant evacuation times in elevator design. Energy consumption of transportation equipment will be briefly discussed" [Publisher]
